Guys I don't know if I'm the only that have this thinking, of buhari sinking our our democracy,instead of consolidating it.

First,he returned the electoral act for an amendment on direct primaries,with an explanation that it's expensive. This same direct primaries he called expensive was used to elect Abiola in 1993,was used to remove ambode in 2019,was used to in osun for oyetola second term primaries.Yet he comes out to tell us it's expensive ..you know why?

As long as every party allows it's members and not delegates ,to decide thier party flag bearers the leaders will be chickened out.The beautiful thing of this direct primaries is that it allow all everybody in the party to decide the party's fate.

Now PDP will flag a mediocre,APC will flag another danger we as citizens will be left to decide who is a lesser danger and a better mediocre among them,when we can push them out from the primaries.
Same primaries all aspirants is ready to spends 100 of millions in dollars to win .

Until the parties can present register of members.. Not concocted.. Actual members, it is rubbish to allow such manipulation


Explain how President got 23m votes for his primaries bit couldn't get same figure in a nationwide election

Andy got over 200, 000 votes hit scored less than 50,000 in the main election

Sanwo Oku scored less than the votes he got from primaries when all of Lagos now was supposed to have added more to what his party already gave him

President Buhari is right to have refused assent to that bill

The man you mentioned in Osun but for Buhari looking away to allow the police help him win he already lost the win and yet scored fanciful figures during primary.. Mif only those who was alleged to have voted for him in the primary came out to vote for him he won't have needed to campaign

Dannyset:


I don't know how Tinubu did it, but you see Shettima and Ganduje are the type of allies you should pray for.

They are publicly open about their support for him.

Kudos!

This people are not from Osun oo. They are Arewa! Haaaaaa! This one pass me!

Let all this matter rest... It is next week..

Until the bite is cast not is set

Adamu was the amongst the last persons to buy APC chairmanship forms... He didn't look like it.... Frontrunner already emerged


Go. And pray for him

redcliff:
una dey very foooooolish i swear. America dey afghanistan for 20years they could not defeat Taliban, they ran out form the place but you are expecting putin to takeover a whole country in 2 months.. mumu people.

Sorry America didn't go to Afghanistan to defeat Talibans.. If they handed over Osama they won't have had the US on their soil.

America had no option but 5o get them off the way and kill Osama.. Mission accomplished they turned to degrading his group, Alqeda and nobody can say they didn't make a nice job if it

America didn't run. They just packed their things and decided to relocate their soldiers close to Eastern Europe... Russia even had problem with the move eastward of the troops


Take this home... Us spent 20 years and lost less than 3000 soldiers... Russia spent 10 years and lost 10,000 solders


They country, Afghanistan, is closer to Russia than the US

It was the Afghanistan war that made the CIA put a report back home that Russian army is a third world army with rockets

baralatie:
And the USA has not even had its own day against Iran o!
When that day comes
People should not shout oo

Israel not US is interested in degrading Iran.. They are presently practicing.. Drills and mock invasions

anonymous1759:
Iran has attacked USA embassy before .

A direct hit on the Embassy building, building within the fences Embassy or buildings besides it?

baralatie:
Which sea port are they going to use first?

Wait... The war is on

baralatie:
Which Donbass is under contest

Stop hyperventilating and face reality

Igbofam:
Even Ukrainian counter offensive has started in Russian occupied Melitopol

Their amoured train carrying lots of troops and military equipment just got blown up.

At least 300 Russian soldiers killed or unaccounted for.

Zelensky once stated it that they wee only waiting for more promises arms to arrive before they launch counteroffensive so that once they start they won't be stalled


Let the fire come quickly in the occupiers

anonymous1759:
Let’s see what will happen In the end as for me Ukraine has lost those places captured by Russians like crimea , In the end they were pawned used to fight the fight America and almighty NATO are avoiding. America could have confronted NATO with Russia in Syria but they pick their fights but Ukraine under this leadership didn’t do enough to avoid it .

If NATO and the west had good plans for Ukraine they could be of an assistance to Ukraine even if they’re neural, but forcing them to stand directly with them (NATO)knowing it’ll ignite Russia to attack was a setup.

Ukraine accepted the Greek Gift and they’re paying. The west miscalculated thinking the sanction will cripple Russia but Putin’s master stroke was oil and gas for Ruble payments. At this point even the west are accusing Russia of trying to prolong the war . They’re gaining massively. The dollar monopoly is in major threat . The longer ruble for gas goes on more country will want to break out. If it’s possible NATO would have killed Putin just like they did to gadaffi because he wanted the world to do away with dollar which Is America cash cow they’re really scared.

The west are doing everything possible to bring India on their side but I don’t think that’ll work because India has a population of 1.2 billion which cannot be joked with . You can’t replace cheap gas for expensive one For such population .

China is lost cause . China and India being Russia's ally during this crises is a major blow to the western sanctions, Another factor that killed the western sanction is Saudi Arabia and Venezuela who refused to heed under western pressure to pump more crude to crash oil price.

Russia has a higher wheat harvest this year , rumor has it that they’re stealing Ukrainian wheat to add to theirs which is very likely Ukraine and the west miscalculated hunger plus military aid debts that’ll be paid for generations at the end you didn’t win war or battle you lost your land . And turned your big brother to your worst enemy .

War is on, Mr. And in donbass.. Kharkiv is retrieved.. War is on... The battle of Kharkiv is ended... Ukraine is the winner

Wonder weapon" talk indicates complete failure of Russian invasion - Zelensky

19.05.2022 06:00

Russia is trying to find its "wonder weapon", which indicates the complete failure of the invasion and the fear of admitting catastrophic mistakes.

That's according to President Volodymyr Zelensky, who spoke in a video address to the nation.

Ukrainians!

Our defenders!

Today, one of the representatives of the Russian state said that the occupiers allegedly began to use laser weapons systems in Ukraine. Allegedly to save missiles.

Firstly, it is noteworthy that they need to save missiles and somehow explain it. That is, more than two thousand missiles fired by the Russian army at Ukraine were the main part of their stockpile of missiles. That is, only the remnants are left.

Secondly, everyone has already seen Russia at war. Inexperienced conscripts, which it throws into battle like cannon fodder. Marauders who see normal appliances for the first time in a foreign country. Old Soviet "armor" without modern protection. Forbidden phosphorous bombs, which they use to burn schools and ordinary houses.

And missiles, most of which were spent by the Russian army on the destruction of absolutely civilian infrastructure without any strategic military outcome. Today they hit missiles in such a way at Mykolaiv and Dnipro.

Well, in the propaganda of Nazi Germany there was such a term "wunderwaffe". Wonder weapon. The clearer it became they had no chance in the war, the more propaganda there was about the wonder weapon, which would be so powerful that it would provide a turning point in the war.

And here we see that in the third month of a full-scale war, Russia is trying to find its "wunderwaffe". Allegedly laser. All this clearly indicates the complete failure of the invasion.

But again, this also shows that they are afraid to admit that catastrophic mistakes have been made at the highest state and military levels in Russia. Therefore, they will come up with more and more "wunderwaffe" as the Armed Forces of Ukraine and all our defenders liberate our land step by step.

How long will it take? The answer to this question can only be given by the real situation on the battlefield. We are trying to do it as soon as possible. That's for sure. We are obliged to drive out the occupiers and guarantee Ukraine real security.

That is why I signed decrees on the extension of the legal regime of martial law and the term of general mobilization. I hope that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine will support this decision in the near future. Our army and all those who defend the state must have all the legal tools to act steadily.

Kherson, Melitopol, Berdyansk, Enerhodar, Mariupol and all of our cities and communities that are under occupation - under temporary occupation - should know that Ukraine will return.

I said today in my address on the occasion of the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Deportation of the Crimean Tatar People that our state does not leave anyone behind and returns what belongs to Ukraine by right. We remember Crimea. And we will never forget 1944 - the genocide of Crimean Tatars committed by the Soviet authorities. And 2014 - the second wave of destruction of everything free on the Crimean peninsula.

Especially on this day I signed the law on the protection of persons deprived of liberty by the occupiers, as well as on the protection of family members of such people. We are talking about all the Kremlin prisoners - both in Crimea and in the occupied part of Donbas. The law gives them more protection and assistance from the state.

We are also accumulating all possible resources of the world to support Ukraine. I am grateful to Andriy Shevchenko, our legendary football player, for becoming the first ambassador of the new national brand of Ukraine - United24.

Cantonese:
Why would Putin not explore all the avenues to peace?

The agreement would probably have been implemented by now, if Putin would have allowed it. A bloody war monger whose only thinks in the direction of wars and violence. The major blockage Minsk II has been Russia’s insistence that it is not a party to the conflict and therefore is not bound by its terms. What’s happening today? Russia has become the aggressor.

Russia and Ukraine interpret the pact very differently, leading to what has been dubbed by some observers as the “Minsk conundrum”.

Unfortunately cities and communities have been destroyed in Ukraine, opening the avenue for contracts of all sorts to fix the nation.

Will Putin make a contribution?

Putin must make a proposal.. There is a proposal to use the seized assets to rebuild Ukraine

Zooposki:
I was the one that brought the denazification part to Nairaland when no one was talking about it. That is just a small part of it. They don’t want Israel in their backyard. Israelis are the ones sponsoring the nazis.

Isreal is the 8ne sponsoring the Nazis......... Seems. Isreal is dealing with your brothers somewhere

rottennaija:
Let the west start using them to host weapons, they will be struck and highest they will do is sanctions and shouting.

Ignoramus

Igbofam:
They wanted Kyiv at the start of the war when they had the numbers yet couldn't.

Their lack of numbers also made them lose Kharkiv

But yeah keep consoling yourself that they can take Kyiv if they want to

The donbass is under contest, even

anonymous1759:
Chai look at what you posted? Something western media thought or insinuated that Putin thinks is what you’re displaying as Putin’s mind.

Can’t you use your own Head to read the script?
If they call you dumb you’ll think they’re insulting you.
For my own personal observation Russia is wining. Their economic is getting stronger, Eu economic is getting weaker Inflation here and there including the USA Uk , Germany etc .The sanctions are backfiring on the west .

Russia has Annexed some part of Ukraine which Dey intended to do and did it That’s a sign of victory.
I’ll only agree Russia lost the war if Ukraine returns all the lands Taken away by Russians from them .
Saying Russia has lost the war because some of their generals die or ship capsized as loss is totally rubbish . This is a battle they must be casualties.

Russia could have carpet bombed Kyiv if they want despite having the air superiority battle but they restrained and focused on strategic places.
At the end of the day Ukraine has been divided. I said this on the 14 of February that Putin will take over Ukraine precepts by precepts.

Once this region Russia took stabilizes more regions who don’t like Ukraine‘s style of rule will want to go the way of people of Luhansk seeking for Russia’s help another chunk of land will be annexed again.

That’s bound to happen because these regions Russia took are their ports where international trade takes places .
Ukraine made a mistake when they decided to over throw their president in 2014 because he’s a Putin puppet that guarantee them peace. Now they’ve pro America president that has cost them Crimea and Luhansk and Donetsk and more to go . The more you look the less you see. Always pick your fight and be street smart.

So the war has ended... Anything from the west is propaganda....

War is a collection of battles... Right now... Kharkov is under Ukrainian control

Russia is stalled in many areas in the DonBass.. Snake island is repeatedly under Ukrainian assault.


US already entered into agreement with Ukraine to ship their wheat and they are going to need the port

This is a ten year war... Battles are ahead

meobizy:
Russia should reopen theirs too.

They will be expelled by Ukraine

Dawn91:
Go and find food to eat... See your neck like electric pole. You are not feeding well yet you sr wall over Nairaland scouting Putin this Russia that... You can't even afford to eat is it Russia you love so much you can afford to go to?

Poor man

Guy I Don screen shot this your yabbin.. You get money... Lool

rottennaija:
OK. Like I said, let the embassies be used to host weapons. Then we will revisit this conversation.

That Embassy is part of the US as a country and the ambassador is the president.. When he speaks.. He says.. My government.. Not the government of Biden



A recognizable and well defined authority will never dare that embassy or any other one.... Terrorist yes but not a government

1Alex:
Okay

This guy may be killed if he returns to the street.. Let him remain in custody until June 2023

2016easy2017:
Russia should simply form alliance treaty with all countries that are against these western dominance and stand firm. Even venezuey, Saudi, north Korea etc. This would stop aggression from both sides and put the world at peace

See the class of. Nations that fits into Russia friendship and fellow colleagues.... North Korea.. A hungry nation that can't feed her citizen without help from the South... America's colleague


Venezuela.. A third world economy nation


Saudi.. A US dependent country

VirileNelly2420:
What are u saying, I ask once again??
How many Russian soldiers were mobilized to Ukraine? I bet u don't follow news. It's called special military operation, not all out war!

Also, it's only Ukraine and dia donors know the veracity of the weapons being sent to Ukraine. ...NATO, US, and others.

Also u said machines don't win war,,,
So I ask, how many men were used to incapacitate Japan when they were hell-bent in continuing d war even wen every nation has agreed to end the war?(WW2)

...certainly, machine did d work. Atomic bomb did it.

Again, machines don't win wars. Human beings do. If. Machines win wars, Russia so called special military operation would have been over by now.... The only thing yet to be in Ukraine in Russia arsenal is nuclear bomb





By the way, what would Russia do differently if they acknowledge their presence in Ukraine as war


Please know that

The bomb you write about didn't go to Japan.. A human being with brain and courage did take it on a plane calculating the risk of being shot with the bomb strapped to his plane

VirileNelly2420:
What are u even talking about?
Which country own Wagner group?
It's a Russian paramilitary force, ok.

Even if we presume Wagner group to be an external force,.... Den, place Ukraine support vs Russia support and say d result urself.

E remain just Africans to officially send support to Ukraine. I said officially cos I know some nations do interfere in situations like dis codedly...to avoid unforseen consequences.

Russia is acclaimed to be a military super power, right..... It shouldn't be a problem for them to overcome small arms like drones, Javelins and Starstreak


With soldier numbering more than three times the size of that of Ukraine, what other help should they be looking for again

700k men against 200k and you are complaining that the other is receiving help... All the so called help can't be up to 500k men to equalize that of Russia
Men win war not machine and Russia has got many more men and even machines than Ukraine


If they are not winning, the fault lies in their brain usage

VirileNelly2420:
Is Russia fighting just Ukraine in Ukraine?
Kids talk!

Neither is Ukraine fighting only Russia in Ukraine

There is the Wagner Group and fighters all the way from Syria

olugabbie:
Mind you, the West invited these country to join NATO. Both Sweden and Finland had been given several invitation to NATO submit, which they honoured. NATO always reach out to countries to join.

What do you find wrong with the invite.. Mind you, it is not conscription

oneeast:
What are the number of nukes by the 30(now 32) members Nato countries? Ewu, you think you get sense

Homan beings win war not machine. Ukraine should have made this clear


Russia lost an entire battalion to a small Ukraine in a single attack without Ukraine losing a hair ... Battalion is made up of 700 men

Men with brains win war not machines

1stGenAmerican:
Frozen how? The country has already replaced the small amount of electricity imported from Russia and the Sweden only imported 8% of natural gas used yearly from Russia. Swedish leaders have been preparing and planning for this day in all ways imaginable. This wasn’t a hasty decision

Confirm

Russia is acting like the gas supply is for free.... It is business gone elsewhere

JosephXavier:
US and the West have been gaslighting Russia while they are the ones that are seeking for it's downfall

They claim to want peace but will be inciting violence especially where they will gain and sell off their ammunition's

What is US suppose to do? Turn down the request of countries?

Moony45:
Its a nuclear weapon country... There is no such thing as encircle... unless they can bear the consequences. Russia has the most number of nuclear arsenal in the world (6500nukes)

Childish banter... That is how they had the best hackers and military arsenal until Ukraine came along and burst that bubble


Ukraine of 200k soldiers chases Russia from Kharkiv all the way back to Russia with cheap turkey drones and British Starstreak and Javelins... Not a single cruise missile... Just hand held ammos

brightalo1010:
. Abeg let him nuke the thing na because it seems like that's the only thing left for him now.

Again wait ooo when he nukes it will it not also affect Russians including his family and friends living in various countries abi the Nuclear bomb will detect Russians and online hype men like you and spare them?

Even tactical Nike, Belarus says Russia can't use on Ukraine because they are too close

Let Russia insist on it and see if Belarus won't turn against them.

noisy45:
You speak like a novice over 1000 nuclear missiles can be launched at once by Russia and even the USA. What will be the difference is who gets hitted first and who has countermeasures against it. The only countermeasures against a nuclear missile in flight is to disarm the nuclear warhead it via satellite hacking when that happens there will be no nuclear explosion when nuclear missile gets to its destination. Russia has military grade hackers same with the USA.

Not even one will be launched by Russia.....

Do you imagine China wants to have such a scenario or India... Radioactive dust from nuclear launch to UK from samamt 2 will travel to Russia and China



Samart 1 didn't see action before it decommissioning... The same will happen to 2

MT:
Most of the nukes are inoperable. Also, it is not the number of nukes you have that matters, it is the delivery mechanism. US has the most precision guided nuclear capable military assets.

A responsible nation doesn't use nuclear capabilities to boast. Have you heard any of the NATO members boasting . If Putin wants a war, he knows what to do - just hit Poland by an inch, then sit back and enjoy "chum chin chum"�

Some are empty canisters

kingthreat:
You keep underestimating Russia. Well it is what the media tells you, you believe.

Tell us what Russia is that you know.


According to the CIA : the Russian army is a third world army with rockets



Russia that doesn't have a single sea worthy aircraft carrier

Krismas:
There are so many account of that event.
Wots important is that Russian army has crossed the Severodonestk river. Its done deal

People die wotowoto u say dem Cross.. Cross to where


Snake island has been blessed by barrage of air strike since Ukraine sank Moskva... The Tor air defense system planted in the island is now a scrap metal

Precision guides missile wotowoto

Goodness
