mairogo:
BTW, no where did I say the Obi sent the boys but that the boys may have been spurred on by his 'joke'.

A joke made many years ago in relations to a governorship election and which has seen other presidential elections come and go...I'm still searching for your logic.

mairogo:
I will ask you to be true to your name and stop lying. You did admit he actually said so but it was a joke.

Show me the quote where I "admit he actually said so". Your problem might be intellectual in nature, you interprete what people say and then you confuse reality with your own imagination.

Which threat ?
See how you coningly put tinubu's crimes upon the shoulders of the Oba of Lagos, while it is a well known fact that the agberos work for tinubu. It wouldn't surprise me if you were one of the political thugs beating up unsuspecting voters.

aswani:
Thankfully the threat didn't work and Peter Obi defeated President Tinubu in Lagos state.

With this your logic, one can also claim that the guys who ransacked the palace of the Oba of Lagos were acting on the order of the Oba of Lagos. A joke made years ago and which has seen many other presidential elections come and go is now out of a sudden the reason for people being attacked in a presidential election ?
I guess in your mind the Oba of Lagos invented political thugs and yoriba ethnic bigots and tinubu thugs all at once when he made a joke many years ago !?
The yoriba have had a tendency to radicalise their youths for more than a decade and the Oba of Lagos has nothing to do with this, if anything this is a threat to the actual legitimate monarchy of Lagos. You now have people from anywhere in the southwest believing that Lagos is their land and that the oni of ife is the owner of lagos.

mairogo:
Joke or not, his comments set the stage for the assaults Obi's supporters suffered in Lagos, don't try to downplay it bro.

He wasn't joking with anybody's life, it is just your Biafra-propaganda which interpreted it as such. Now you are claiming "his boys went to beat up anybody trying to vote for Obi". I challenge you to prove that any of those criminals was working for the Oba of Lagos!
It seems you have forgotten that tinubu leads the gangs of Lagos. But I guess it is more convenient for your victim narrative to imagine it is the Oba of Lagos who sent criminals to brutalise voters rather than tinubu trying to crush his opponents.

mairogo:
Really? Same way MC Oluomo made a joke with his own comments?
How do you even make a job with something as important as one's life?
Come to think of it, if it was a joke, I'm not sure his boys understood it else they wouldn't have beaten people going to vote Obi in 2023.

Joke or not, his comments set the stage for the assaults Obi's supporters suffered in Lagos, don't try to downplay it bro.

You guys need to stop taking things out of context, the Oba of Lagos wasn't threatening anybody, he was making a joke. Oba Akiolu has never been an enemy to Igbos. He has never had any anti-igbo statement or policy. But ethnic bigots always want to be seen as victims of every other ethnicity.

mairogo:
Or Agbadorians who physically assaulted people going to vote for Obi in Lagos, who called every good looking person Igbo and Obi supporter in Lagos.
She could've been spurred on by the likes of Obi Rikwan Akiolu, Remi Tinubu, MC Oluomo, Bayo Onanuga and co who threatened the Igbo over their choice of candidate. Perhaps too, she was egged on by Wole Soyinka who has become senile as a result of the crumbs from Tinubu's tables he feeds on.

Actually you are just quoting revisionists whom created a fantasy "history" to elevate their ranks. The only person in Nigeria whose ancestry is proven up to the 1400's is the Oba of Benin whose ancestors were already recieving literate visitors in the 1400's while they were ruling the empire of Benin and Ife was nowhere to be found. There is a reason why Benin republic is named after Benin and not Ife. Indeed Ife is a new settlement compared to Benin and even in 1912 Ife was still a small village whereas Benin was already an empire in the 1400's. Fairytales were created to elevate the standing of Ife.

Christlike01:
What's a verifiable fact is that Oba of Benin is a Yoruba man through Oranmiyan,that Obaseki is a betrayal is even secondary! Olumide Akpata,Omobayo,Oyegun,Akerele,etc are all Yoruba men, that's a fact!

So someone somewhere insulted your king and you identify that person as an Edo, therefore you now go anywhere you see Edo people and start insulting the Oba of Benin ?
So instead of insulting the person who vexed you, you go anywhere you see Edo people to insult the Oba of Benin ? While the Oba of Benin didn't vex you nor did the Edo people in whose presence you have elected to showcase your madness !?
Mental asylums in Nigeria are not doing their job well.
So if a yoriba steals my money, I'm entitled to go and burn down the house of any other yoriba ? If a yoriba punches me, I need not punch him back, I only need to look for an other yoriba anywhere else and throw stones at him ?

YorubaDemonswag:
Oba dey mad? You people are free to abuse others people king but want your useless inferior Yoruba king to be respected.

YorubaDemonswag:
Which yeye Oba? Obaseki is real Edo man while that useless Oba is an impostior from iile ife, he will be dethrone and banish to evil forest after election,real Edo know themselves

Can you tell me where your ancestors were in the 1400's ? They might have been slaves in Brazil or in Sudan or in Mali. Well the Oba of Benin's ancestors were ruling Benin empire from the capital city Edda (Benin city) in the 1400's.
I don't think there is any other Nigerian whose ancestry can be researched that far in the past.
It seems you are not well educated.
Don't be confused by fairytales.

leokid866:
is Russia not currently in a war? Is Germany not still buying gas from Russia? Why you no use your ignorant mind tell Germany make dem dey supply Russia gas since it's a war torn country?

"BUYING" not "BEGGING" !
Also Germany is no longer buying gas from Russia, but some other countries are buying gas from Russia. And Russia is winning it's war, so ...
I think you have difficulties understanding that a country which is about to die (Ukraine) is providing Nigeria aid in the form of free food. Is this so difficult to understand?

leokid866:
Oga stop being ignorant Ukraine supplies upto 15% of the world's grains and more than 40% of Nigerias imported grains for your ignorant mind na only Nigeria dem dey supply....why you no tell America, UK and European union not to take grain from Ukraine when they were begging putin to allow grains out of Ukraine to stabilize prices worldwide....una go get smart phone but still dey ignorant 🙄

Buying and begging are two different things.
The countries which you talked about are buying, Nigeria is begging a dying country for free food.
By the way, Russia produces much more grain than Ukraine. The USA did everything to stop Russia from selling its grain which is actually much more bad for food price in the world than Ukrainian grain being absent. Lesson: don't believe USA propaganda.

Exousiang01:
Did you even read through?

The point is: a dying country is proving aid to Tinubu presided Nigeria.
I mean there is nothing more to be said.
No need to defend tinubu or to tell people to go and consult usa-propaganda (Google).
The facts are here, a dying man is giving you first aid.

Iykopee:
Tolu ogunlesi is a compound idiot. Shame is a word that doesn't exist in the section of the country whence he came.

How can you thump your chest in public over a country @ war providing grains for you own country as aid without any war?

It means 200 million idiots are domiciled in Nigeria if Ukraine could be granting Nigerians food aid @ this point.

Shame shame shame!

He (Tolu) is an ethnic bigot. And he is just showing his true colours once again.

Guys, why not just say: "tinubu is yoruba, and I am yoruba, therefore I will always side with tinubu."
Stop pretending to not be defending tinubu on the basis of your ethnic jingoism. If you say the truth, the discussions will be shorter. Instead you just go on not making any sense.
A country which is losing a war is giving you aid ⛑️
A dying man is giving you first aid !!! 🤣
That begs the question, what the heck is wrong with you ?

I'm not knowledgeable about the battle of Waterloo, I'm talking about the battle of st Crispens, the British were outnumbered at least 3 to 1.

You can also take a look at Cesare's take over of Gaul. Cesare was greatly outnumbered.
Hannibal as well, he kept defeating the Romans who greatly outnumbered his forces.
Strategy and discipline win wars.


I'm sorry though, I don't fully understand your thesis. Could you state it ?
And if you could give a definition to "soldier" I would appreciate. The farmers who defeated the USA in Afghanistan, do they fit the definition?

I feel like we are not saying contradicting things. You only seem to believe that the size of an army is a big factor in winning or losing a war, I think it is not. Strategy is the actual bigger factor. Strategy is how 80000 russian soldiers bugged down more than 500000 Ukrainian soldiers.

HBB1:
Population of a country is not the population of its standing army.
They are 2 different things

I have said at least 3 things matter in war, 1 being the population of the armies.
Whilst tactics and weapons matter too.

What was the size of the English army and the French army that lost to them at Waterloo?
That's what matters.

To say the size of an army does not matter is not correct

There is a big deifference between an adult male and a soldier.
Big difference!

For instance England and South Korea have about the same population.
However, S.Korea's standing army is about 5 times the English.

If they were to fight, the Koreans will have an obvious advantage in that area-- except the English improve their numbers or have a considerable advantage in other areas.


The Brits colonised India, because it had several warring kingdoms and they sided with one over another until they gradually controlled the Country.

They had the right tactics and superior weaponry.
But despite that, they were still routed in some battles.

Germany lost because they were spread too thing on several fronts.
They had brilliant officers and way superior weaponry but lost.
They ended recruiting children to shore up their numbers in the end.

So yes, the size of armies (population of armies) matters.

HBB1:
Hahaha

My father has a PHD from one of the top 20 universities in the World.

Happy?

🤣

The guy just starts insulting peoples' parents when he has no argument. He is a bush animal. No manners at all.

uniquetechng:
Stop trying to sound intelligent, you will start crying about your dead father the moment I start with you, I have enough time.
45 and 47 should tell you it can be a typo, but you want to sound woke.
I have enough time today, so bring it on.

This guy, look you have started it again. Your kids are dead, your nephews are dead, your parents are dead. Your cousins are dead, your siblings are dead. All your relatives are dead.

Your prostitute wife and her bastard relatives are also dead. And you will probably be dead soon.

uniquetechng:
You were insulting me but with this your response you backed my assertion that population don't win wars especially in 2024 with the kind of technologies we have today.
Guess the only person here is HBB1

I'm not backing you, and I didn't mention any technology. I don't say things out of emotions, I say things which are true, irrespective of someone else saying them or not.
You still lack knowledge of history and you are still an animal who insults people's parents when cornered.

uniquetechng:
Your miserable father is too daft to know that WW2 in 1947 is entirely different from any full fledged war in 2024.
It's no surprise that you're this daft because your miserable and wretched father is also daft, apple does not fall far from its tree remember.

"Ww2 in 1947" 😅
Your knowledge of history is even more amazing than I thought.

HBB1:
...and so?

Does that make you bright?

If you like, let all the members lf your family be Generals...

From Population does not matter, you have changed to population does not really matter.
🤣

Mr technology-wins-wars... maybe you should ask your family members what numerical strength does in combat.

Germany had the best weapons in WW2, they lost.

America had far superior weapons im Vietnam.
It still ended catastrophically.

Ukraine has the support of NATO, with choice weapons, but are also losing.

You are obviously too daft to connect the dots in all these obviously.

England has always had a smaller population than France, but I recall England defeated France in their wars.

Rwanda has a smaller population than Congo, but Rwanda routinely militarily humiliate Congo.

Uk had a much smaller population than the Indian kingdoms which it defeated and turned into a single country.

Japan had a smaller population than China each time Japan defeated china.

Small Sweden used to bully the Russian empire.

Israel had a much smaller population than any of the countries of the middle east which it defeated in a 6 day war.

Eritrea had a smaller population than Ethiopia when Eritrea defeated Ethiopia in its independence war.

Greece most likely had a smaller population than Egypt when Alexander the great defeated Egypt.

Germany did not attack the ussr alone, it did so with Romania, Italy, Finland and some other states. In that period of time Germany occupied all of western Europe minus the UK, if you add all their populations, you would have a bigger population than the USSR's.

Procashtips:
Anyone with a military uniform, weapon or no weapon is an enemy in this SMO.

So if they like, let them claim these 'missionaries" are going there to preach the "good news".

As long as they're there to prolong the SMO, they have a bullet or missile waiting for them.

Exactly. Canada which is hostile to Russia and which sends weapons to Russia's enemies (some of the weapons need Canadian operators) is sending troops to Ukraine and calls those troops "non combattants" 🤣
So if you send armed rubbers to my home and call them medical doctors, I'm no longer allowed to defend myself ? 🤣

My best wishes to the Canadian people, but Trudeau is not acting in the interests of Canada.

stanluiz:
It was Vladmir Lenin not Joseph Stalin.

Lenin did it out of soviet guilt to compensate Ukraine.

I'm not sure that you are aware that Ukraine minus western Ukraine (snatched from Poland by the ussr) was part of the Russian empire which was renamed the soviet union after the Russian civil war and the demise of the tsar and the breakaway of Finland and some other russian territories.

It seems you and the other guy have a bad understanding of time. You act as if the people in soviet era should have taken the future post soviet realities into account.
Let me remind you that in the soviet era, Ukraine was just a unit of the soviet union. Adding land to Ukraine was just like Nigeria making northwest Nigeria into one state.

So I fail to understand your "soviet guilt" in this scenario. It seems you are confused.

Procashtips:
These people surely know what alot don't know.

Using every means to want to stop Russia from defending her borders says alot about these people.

They don't mind the number of deaths, as long as their family members aren't among.

Trudeau talks as if there is any land in Ukraine which Russia can't bomb with missiles. Trudeau wants Canadians to believe their soldiers would be treated like civilians by the Russian military.
We all know the Canadian soldiers are going to be combattants and Russia is not going to see them as non combattants. You can't just send soldiers into a war zone and declare them non combattants and also declare they would be training one side and providing weapons to one side.
I guess Trudeau's next move is to feign surprise when Canada's soldiers get bombed by iskander missiles. Then we will hear of calls to use article 5 from Trudeau.

Trudeau is a kid.

The guy is extremely ignorant.
He claims Russia invaded Vietnam and Yougoslavie and Ethiopia...
Don't waste your time talking to him, he just likes to argue on subjects he knows nothing about.

HBB1:
Clown!

If you go War College, you will study military tactics from when they rode on horse-back and used swords.
Current day warfare is still about manoeuvres and tactics.

Besides Soldiers still train bayonets charges till today.

You obviously know NOTHING about military strategy.

Like NOTHING!

You sound like a child arguing if Van Damme will beat Bruce Lee.

For you to disregard WW2 shows how uninformed you are.

Are they not fighting in trenches, like they did in WW1, in Ukraine today?
Have you not been seeing what is happening?

How did America do in Vietnam, Korea and Afghanistan with their superior weaponry?

'If Portugal and Israel fight, Israel will win...'

How do you know that?
How did the Brits and Russians do in Afghanistan?
You think this is Call of Duty? 🤣

Then again, the 'Force Ratio' I tried to explain to you is not of the total population of a Country.

You misunderstanding something this basic says a lot:

1. The total population of a country will not be in the army.
2. The Force Ratio is used for battlefield tactics.

So if I want to invade a defended position-- e.g a beach, town or city...
It is expected I will take a way heavier casualty than the defenders.
It is commonsensical.

If you cannot understand it, that's not my problem.

America will all their gadgets fought a crippling war in middle east for over 20 years, where they were losing men to IEDs.
They had to humiliatingly abandon that campaign also.

Maybe read more, watch podcasts and documentaries; and you will understand.

If you don't, then...I cannot help you.

Putin prepared for nuclear attack on China, bombshell Kremlin military docs show
The classified papers describe a threshold islamists and magicians how far. I told you guys and map where and how china will attack Russia. Let the events unfold. USA is going to destroy whole Russia and Donbass with nuke.

Your lack of ability to spot propaganda says a lot about your brain activity.
Do you understand that NATO is trying to separate Russia and China from each other ?
China knows the "leaked" documents are fake. And let me tell you their origin:
After ww2 the USA planned to bomb the USSR with nuclear bombs, but before the USA was able to get ready for the bombing campaign, the USSR made its own nuclear bombs and tested them for all to see. Then the USA shoved its plans of bombing the USSR.
The propagandists just copied that and put Russia in the place of the USA and China in the place of the USSR.

Allthelight:
The u.s is cutting down forces stop posting fake news

Punctuation is important!

AnyanwuSilas:
He didn't specify the part of Europe, he just wrote it like Russia is no Europe. Everyone knows that Russia is Euroasia. Asian Russians are just minority with less than 15% of the population. Like I said... Moscow is 100% European city. Putin is a 100% European.

Not that it matters but I think russians are mostly mixed. A DNA test will probably show that most of them have partly Asian DNA. Their history is linked with the Mongols and the vikings.
Moscow's architecture is not european, so when you say it is a 100% European city, I don't understand what you mean.
I think you guys focus way too much on ethnicity, that makes you sound exactly like white supremacists. Normal people don't care that much of whom is European and whom is not.

What is a campus cult ?

Kingsnairaland:
Only simpleton USA fans don't understand what Russia has you don't need to be in Soviet union or nato when you have nukes

You don't need to join campus cult when you are in the military

You don't need to fear devil when you have God living inside you

NATO wants it to be face me I face you with Russia without nuke lol but this won't be the case Russia will use it own nato population advantage which is nuke

Yes Russia will take a hit but there will no longer be USA or UK in existence till they reborn the nation by then Africa will make them our own slaves so

The ball is on their court when ever they want to become sand they should go fight with mother Russia.

AnyanwuSilas:
Is Putin himself not a European? Una go dey talk like mumu. Moscow is 100% European city.

You have comprehension problems. He is obviously talking about western Europeans.
Russia is partly Asian and partly European.
It is a multiethnic country.
