Nigerian troops wey give Intel should've used that opportunity to push forward the attacks on these criminals I don't know why they stood back and waiting for more help, even the bomb that didn't explode,are they not supposed to take it and study it and replicate that, leaving it there is harmful as it can explode if people keep using it to play

Same person, but different monikers, its ok. Read my response and apply sense, if you will. Flight isn't for poor people like you ok? Flight in Nigeria is so cheap by the time you convert it to USD and it was based on the same reason you quoted for overseas flights earning in dollars. Everyone will abandon air travel locally if overseas rate is applied

Go to any park every season and find out how much road transport is, if you'd reason at all. USD conversion or not, it's same sky every flight flies regardless of countries, they go through same maintenance and spend same amount on parts with their counterparts elsewhere still, airfare here is cheaper, on/off season comparatively. Common sense that you mentioned seems far from you from, your analogy.
You said a lot but made no sense bro

Internally, they are divided. A lot going on in the military that war will only expose.

Relationship with long stand allies at an all time low. The VP and President have publicly been throwing jibes at NATO

Putin effect- Trump will alway listen to Putin.

Economically, they can’t afford it. They are piling debt on a monthly basis now. Debt already surpassed GDP. Consumer debt now on steroids.

Public Opinion- Both sides do not want new wars.
Is it the same economy that grew largely and citizens were paid incentives and recently all military personnel received dividends of 1,776 dollars each?

You go dey surprise say when war comes, all unites together to protect their country because they know say if anything happens to their country, there's no place to go to...

The way una dey think eehn.... so because you and your siblings dey fight dey quarrel, enemies go come una no fit unite to protect una home

But why is Nairaland is full of so many illiterates, many of whom attack without shame? grin. Look at the screenshot. That's today's flight from same location to Los Angeles. Check those rates, if not even higher than what i quoted. Fares like I said in my previous post depends on the season. Airfare in Nigeria is very cheap.
I hate it when supposed literate people talk like this

How can you convert to naira when

A...American dey use dollar, you dey convert to naira to determine if it's cheaper or expensive

Americans are working and earning in dollars

Nigerians are working and earning in naira

Americans are using below 600 dollars, which means an average/ poor American can easily fly to another country or state because it's a 2weeks wages using minimum wage of 5$ per hour

When it comes to comparing prices y'all come up with conversion rates forgetting both are not earning in same currencies

SmartPolician:
Those guys don explain am tire. They said that during festive seasons, the air traffic goes to the east and empty planes return to Lagos and Abuja to fly down more people.

Technically, the passengers are paying the fees for to and fro. Whether it's fair or not is beyond the scope of this explanation.

However, saying that Nigerian airplane fees are the cheapest is a blatant lie. Flying in the UK is cheaper than doing same in Nigeria
Cheaper in china

With 1,000 yuan, 1,500 etc you don go anywhere come back

USE YOUR HEAD.

Somebody stole $5,000 TRILLION FROM YOU.

That same person, STILL HOLDING YOUR $5,000 TRILLION now draws up a ''LIST'' of the ''worst governments on Earth''.

He includes YOU that is struggling with the effects of his theft and destruction, as being more or less a devil.

HE HAS NOT RETURNED YOUR MONEY O!

But he has drawn up a 'LIST' of the worst, most corrupt nations/govts, and puts YOUR NAME IN IT.

And excludes his own name, painting himself as an angel, WHILE STILL HOLDING YOUR $5,000 TRILLION.

WHY DO YOU ACCEPT THAT?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
Na your type go fail, dey blame nepa say they didn't give you light to read during exams or blame your parents for not paying for extra lessons...

Stop whining and fix your country.... they stole trillions of trillion dollars

Na them say make you no fit provide security? Good roads,electricity or good food security?

They didn't finish, but you can't sell it all or use it all in one day.

So Africa's annual GDP Is just $3 trillion.

The looting of your resources by invaders (amounting to $5000 trillion) took place over a period of decades and centuries. That's what AI calculates. Not just one year.

Just start from the 1880s when the British invaded. IF THEY HAD BUILT EVEN BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE from then till 1960, even while looting, BY 1960 we would have been reasonably developed.

But they did NOTHING. They just looted. THAT'S WHY we are still having to build BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE TODAY, 65 years after they left.

So our UNDERDEVELOPMENT TODAY is tied to the atrocious neglect of the past.

You cannot absolve the INVADERS of responsibility, and only blame yourselves. NO.

They OWE YOU.

Demand your money back from them.

Why are you scared?

''THEIR'' own AI systems are telling you that they plundered $5,000 TRILLION from Africa.

So what are you still talking?
How long will you keep blaming the thieves that robbed your grandfather of his properties and leav him to ruins? Your father suppose don put his legs on ground and work hard to be better, you yourself that saw that things are bad, are you not supposed to work to change that situations

Blaming thieves that stole centuries ago in 2025 na something I can't fathom

I remembered vividly during Biafra war/Civil wars

Nobody is complaining that it's because of the war that was or is why this section of the country is badly developed or is still in ruins

Yet that section of the country is comparing themselves with those that didn't even see the war at their doorsteps... Lagos didn't experience that war etc.. so we need to stop the blaming thieves that stole resources that never finished over centuries ago, we need to work it out...

YOU DON'T KNOW HISTORY.

KEEP SHUT AND LEARN.

WE ARE TAKING ABOUT PLUNDER OF WEALTH.

NOT JUST 'COLONISATION'.

European COLONISATION was done for different things in different places.

In some places like HONG KONG, it was to do with strategic acquisition of territory to control Asian trade routes, NOT TO PLUNDER.

They actually BUILT UP CHOSEN COLONIES, EG SOUTH AFRICA, CANADA, USA, NAMIBIA, AUSTRALIA, ETC.

BECAUSE THEY HAD THEIR PEOPLE THERE IN LARGE NUMBERS, THEY DID NOT PLUNDER. THEY BUILT.

They did NOT colonise China. Just seized a little territory there for a few years.

IN BLACK AFRICA, YOUR TERRITORY, THEY COLONISED AND PLUNDERED MERCILESSLY TO THE POINT OF $5,000 TRILLION.

AND BUILT A BIG FAT ZERO.

So instead of making excuses for them and worshipping them as your 'Personal lord and saviour' END YOUR MENTAL SLAVERY TO THEM, and DEMAND YOUR REPARATIONS.

THEY HAD NO RIGHT TO INVADE, LOOT, DESTROY AND COLONISE YOUR PROSPEROUS, FUNCTIONAL PRECOLONIAL SOCIETIES.
My brother, what did they plunder that got finished? Oil,coal,iron ore,gold etc? Did they finish?


Are you trying to tell me that if thief Rob you off your monies,burnt your home emptied your savings etc, in less than 30yrs you won't be better than the way they left you?

Are you saying that nigeria can't build new electricity plant to add to what we have on ground? Oil don finish to get money to build good hospitals, no money fund good medical care and roads?

All the repatriated abacha funds,how far?

Were you not aware that they gave a quote for 247 power to be about 16b, how much is the coastal road,how much be the money yahaya Bello steal?80b?emfiele nko now how much was said for installation of solar in Aso rock? The questions plenty gan... let's just hold ourselves and leaders accountable.... most of the things we are still using were made during military regime,and colonial era... this colonial stuff was more than 60yrs ago not that we got independence last 5yrs...government has failed and the citizens have also failed too

Some days ago, soldiers killed protesting women, shooting unarmed WOMEN like say them be bush meat... well, I believe in dissolution and breakaway of nigeria,make everyone go rule their tribes

Probably petty robbers. Not everyone loses confidence from hearing gunshots. An uncle was robbed years back. The robbers were over forty in number. While they were breaking his security door, his neighbour started offloading shotgun rounds in the air to scare them. They laughed at the effort, promising that they’ll reach him when done with my uncle’s house.
Guy!!!! Take it easy dey pour Maggi, he say na DEY LAUGHED AND PROMISED TO TEACH HIM A LESSON... it's either you were part of the robbers or you fabricated the story... you saw them yenyenyen... oga, no robber either 100,000 people will hear gunshots and not take cover to know if it's towards them or not, even trained marine soldiers take cover.... take it easy o


I remembered very well, one Easter Monday morning, going home from ajegunle, two men,one elderly and one in his mid 40s... It seems the elderly man still remembered the face of one of the robbers, incident that happened 8 to 10yrs ago, the elderly man started talking about the robbery and faced the other man, and asked him,did you remember, naso the man became violent that everyone was like brother na question he asked, it became too serious and elderly man said, I knew it was you... some elderly people remembered the robbery as the man was narrating it, when I got to my stop, me and my bro walking down to our street concluded that the guy was actually the one....

I see his point tho — the scale and nature of the actions are definitely different. Attacking security forces is a direct assault on the state, while kidnappings for ransom, though terrible, are financially motivated.

That said, both actions are causing real harm to innocent people and communities. Acknowledging the differences is important, but we also need solutions that address all forms of violence, whether politically motivated or financially motivated. Fairness in discussion is key, but so is ensuring safety for everyone.

And lastly, Gumi should really stop being bias.
Oh really? All the benue killings and kwara killings,burning churches are financially motivated?
