The man that does not like money is flying private. Guess he paid with cowries.

Why are you people saying is a lie na? I thought putin is the new lord and personal saviour of nigerians..saying that the u.s government murdered over 3000 of it's own people is too much to belive?

The most fun way to browse the Internet. Technology has really advanced.

Fleshly:
But Kennedy retreated, during the Cuban missile crisis.

wrong, Kennedy never retreated. Nikita kruchev pulled back the nukes from getting to Cuba, cause if it did not according to Kennedy, the u.s will launch the first strike.

This is a fact audible to the deaf and visible to the blind.

Anthony enahoro was the first Nigerian to raise the motion for independence from the British at a lagos conference in the 1950's but our subservient northern comrades pushed against it which earned them stoning and booing in lagos, sometime later greater violence was matted out to southern delegates who went to kano for the second leg of the conference as retaliation for what was done to northern delegates in lagos. Violence which we now know today as the "kano riots"...with all this early warning signs, we went ahead to create a nation and wonder today why we are such a disjointed bigoted mess.

We must be careful to distinguish between the so called "militants" and "vested interest" who might be using this current talk of renewed militancy to perpetrate evils that helps their interest, a lot of Nigerians and foreigners benefit greatly from unrest in the Niger delta but you dob't expect our myopic federal government to think that far.

I see all the folks who insulted president jonathan for dressing his culture by calling him a fisherman for his fedora hat and looking clueless for his niger delta atibo see nothing wrong in this ugly oversized agbada the vice president runs around foreign countries in. Tribal double standard in full display.

He didn't weaken anything? Democrats are known for dialogue and covert operations while Republicans are known to be offensive when need arises. I see a Republican winning the next general election.

Putin is already presiding over a week economy, so its not about throwing bombs indiscriminately. He has to understand that economy and war has direct relationship. He is just acting up to be reckoned with.

actually, he has. Democrats are known for diplomacy but when u.s interest and prestige is challenged democrat presidents like bill Clinton, FDR, JFK, LBJ never retreated. The Cuban missile crisis which was the greatest face off in world history happened under democrats john kennedy.

Obama has a deep seated philosophical objection to military action and he believes he was elected to end the wars in iraq and afganistan, not to start one in Syria for his successor to inherit. This has made America seem weak in the eyes of the world after years of bravado foreign policy. Now, history might judge obama right for preserving the u.s from another war after 10 years of wars and 18 trillion in debt. But the fact now is that their is a vacuum of power in the world, and the opportunist, putin. Is taking great advantage of it, weather it makes or mare him is get to be seen.

In trying to correct the mistakes of the bush administration, obama has greatly weakened america's prestige and power in the world but in years to come, we will know if it was worth it and if russia was the one that miscalculated.

Go to which court? The inquiry has presented it's facts, let's see what our anti corruption president and his EFCC and ICPC will do about it...

RandomVic:
So you think the likes of CNN, Faux (Fox) NEWS, BBC and all other Western medias don't spilling propaganda? You're funny man. The american society has come to realize this too, the mainstream medias are mere propaganda tools use by their government to propagate lies. Your American azz licking skills is on a different level bro. If the US is truly after peace, justice and equity then come back and quote me when it finds fault in its barbaric friend, Saudi Arabia.

. Nice deflection kiddo, but I thought we were talking about the u.a media ability of openly talk about it's problem, ie.violence, gun crimes, excesses of capitalism, etc as opposed to the 24/7 propaganda from RT(russia today) and CCTV(china)...heck, the guardian through Glenn grenwald exclusively published all the Edward Snowden leaks, when has the eastern media ever gone against the govt? Pls remind me.

raayah:
Tell them ooh.
I hate when people support crimes committed by black Americans. They give a bad name to us hardworking Nigerians/Africans who abide by the law.

I feel your pain, along with that of every hardworking, law abiding black person in the u.s who is now being painted with a broad brush because of the action of a misguided few. Although there are some geniune cases of malpractice by law enforcement, the NAACP and other black groups should focus on training their youth against a life of criminality rather than preaching constant victimhood.

RandomVic:
You talk of racism in Russia, at least Blacks over there aren't brutalize and gunned down by the Russian Police, like they do in a near weekly basis in the so called more liberal US. Up Russia. Up Putin

so you think the corrupt Russian state owned media will show you what the govt and citizens do against minority, thank God the u.s is the land of the free where the media shows everything and we can have a lively debate about perceived injustice and protest by groups like the NAACP and black lives matter despite the fact that blacks are 13% of the population but commit 70% of crimes.

stanech:
We are talking about recently. In fact from 90s till now Us has caused more deaths

indeed! When over 3000 of your citizens are killed in one day, you have to act but the u.s made mistakes along the way, your hero's china and Russia have caused deaths in Georgia and Nepal for no reason.

byrron:
My Father created the crisis in Iraq, Libya, Afghan and my dad is also responsible for the crisis in Syria now, He is also responsible for sponsoring rebels here and there aiding them to destabilize countries here and there like

I will rather stick with a country that allows me to solve my own problems rather than the one that will create a problem for me and still provide a solution that is even worse than the problem it created all for its selfish interest.

lol, They are curtailing all those disease you mentioned and i ask you to what end? What is the opportunity cost for all those conditional aids?

Russia and China owes you nothing and the earlier you recognize that fact the better for u.

Emancipate yourself form mental slavery SIR.

maybe your father is indeed responsible for all you just said but since it is not backed up by facts, I will not entertain it. This is the exact kind of realism I want you to hold to world events and not filling your head with fringe conspiracy theories!

Indeed, russia and china owe africa nothing but it does'nt stop us for bring grateful to the americans for all they have done for the world. It is you who need salvation from mental slavery and ignorance. I call you ignorant because you term russia and china as countries who "allow other countries to solve their problems". Like. Russia did in afganistan, Georgia, Ukraine and other bastia states? Of as China is doing in Nepal and the south china sea?

stanech:
I get you bro. You are right
Everyone has this tendency to subdue and oppress and the us is doing a very nice job policing the world.

Although I still think that the us and china has caused more death than russia and china ever did

thanks for understanding but I disagree with your final point, when you think of people like chairman Mao of China, Vladimir Lenin,joseph stalin, Peter the terrible,etc of russia you realise America has been a great promoter of freedom except for times they went astray like Vietnam and iraq.

Emzyme:
I would have said u are stupid BT DAT would be underestimating ur abilities
Us done for Africa....lyk sponsoring coup in Egypt, Libya,arming and forming bokoharam ,or what
Guy mind ya self ooo
Ordinary to sell weapons give us na probs...Russia gave us sha

you can rant on about your conspiracy theories if the u.s sponsoring all the coups and bad govt. In Africa but until you provide facts, they remain conspiracy theories and figments of your imagination, what is fact however is that without USAID and u.s leadership in the UN, Africa would have been ravaged by HIV and still be grappling with petty diseases like polio, measles, malaria, diarrhoea, etc..

stanech:
I understand that the world politics is tricky.
Russia and china are not saints but neither is the us that claim they are. How do you explain the havoc they have caused both in Lybia and Syria. Russia may not be involved in many humanitarian ventures in the world but they try as much to stay away from affairs of other countries.

like I said, the u.s has a lot of errors to their best and should be blamed for setting the middle east on fire with the invasion of Iraq. But they can never be compared with the selfish and racist Russian and Chinese govt. Who care for themselves and themselves alone. Go read up on what China is doing in Nepal, read up on how blacks are treated in russia and you'll appreciate the u.s despite their flaws.

No be only 90 billion dollars, na 100,000,000 quintrillion pounds sterling..

stanech:
I think I prefer Russia and china. Fvck the aids from the Us. I understand that you have to police the world but why fund a group as deadly as isis?
I think the major problem is Obama. He messed up so bad.

I will not engage in your conspiracy theories if the United States funding isis, or next thing you'll be telling me the u.s government carried out 9/11 by theme selves, but I find it gratifying that you cannot point to any humanitarian good China or russia has done for the world or africa specifically.

byrron:
You deliberately create a problem for me then nurture it until it blossomed and reck havock: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

You now start advertising yourself to the world on how u are gonna send humanitarian aids to help the victims of the problems you deliberately created which is purely for exploitation purposes.

Then you now start claiming that you care so much for me and you now love me more than I even love myself?

THAT IS SO DECEITFUL.

Russians don't play such deceitful game's, they go for whatever they want either by negotiation or by force but not by deceit.

I see, the u.s created the AIDS virus which has ravaged africa. And used USAID to help curtail it. They also created ebola, cancer, malaria, polio, measles and many other diseases which has threatened to wipe off africa but for their help both in development of cure and procurement for poor nation's, what part has russia and China played in all of this? Africans are just myopic and attracted to bravado and shinny stuff.

gboss4sure:
And the Americans are there to support and train isis in the name of moderate rebels who always defect to isis after their training with ammunitions given to them by usa.

They almighty usa has already done enough damage to world peace starting from Iraq to Libya, Syria and ukraine.

It's time Russia and china steps in to end the problems the americanas are causing in the world.

Every war and conflict happening in this world always have a tie to the criminal US government.

I totally agree with you that the americans have made very strategic errors in the world but you display nativity by saying russia and China is coming to "clear up" the world. Those two countries care for one thing and one thing only, "their interest". Do you think putin will be in Syria if not for assad? At least for all their evils, the u.s has done a lot of good for Africa and other poor nation's through USAID and being the largest contributor to the UN, meanwhile tell me what humanitarian program russia and China has done for the world?

It's funny how the media fail to see the west game plan here and interpret putin's foolishness for "strength". Just cast your mind back to the Soviet union war in the 80's that was one of the reasons of it's downfall and then reevaluate this situation.

But he met with the leadership of the national assembly on the same issue only a few months ago. Airheads!!

Foolish nigerians! I don't know where you folks get all your nonsense bravado about putin from, putin has not ended islamic terrorism in chechnynia, he wants to end it in Syria? Funny!! That guy is just there to clear the opposition to pres. Assad but he does'nt know what he is getting himself into.

neocortex:
You are free to tactically withdraw when cornered.

i'm here buddy! Ready to continue our discourse whenever you start making sense.

neocortex:
Don't be close minded,
A little research will do you a great favor.
It is not about number i.e 300 million, it is
about percentage and freedom to own guns.

that made no sense , try again.

neocortex:
Are you aware that switzerland, czech republic and france also has a very lax gun laws ?
How come mass shooting in those countries are not rampant ?

Also , you fail to state the major cause of the high level of gun violence in US, in fact mass shootings
account for insignificant number of deaths when compared with those caused by illegal gun owners and gangs
even though they are the most reported. Chicago is a good case in point.

that is a lie! No European nation has lax gun laws that allow more than 300 million guns to be in circulation and as for Chicago which is republicans favourite talking point for gun violence, their gun laws would work better if it's neighbouring states were not such gun nuts where guns can be snuck in from at anytime.

pelezico:
He is completely right here - he is not comparing the atrocities of slavery to Obamacare but being a well read man of history he clearly sees where this is going - he realises that the ambitions of Government can now exercise its true face against freedoms that Obamacare can withdraw from the American citizen

He explains his position very well - if you are willing to listen that is. His concern, something Marxists well knew is that if you can control peoples health you can control the person. Marxist advocated this. Obamcare and its concessions do just that

He sees the parallels of failed states like Nazi Germany and policies they made being made by America - he also sees the societal changes that shaped Nazi Germany being paralleled by America.

Dont allow the liberal press, left or right to mess with your head - try to be more discerning

spare me that rubbish! Marxist? Nazi? To use to words in your defence shows how much of a right winger you are! The affordable care act, a brainchild of the right and it's organisations like heritage is suddenly "nazi" because obama proposed it? Just look at the catastrophe other industrialised nation's like Japan, u.k, Canada,etc that has affordable healthcare for their citizens are....funny enough the u.a system obama introduced is not even close to the single payer other countries have. and less than a year after it's implementation, 90% of users are satisfied with their healthcare. Ben carson is an idiott, as a black man for using "slavery" in the same context with healthcare. What an insult to his ancestors.
