PoliticsRe: I Still Find It Odd That Nigerian Men Cannot Lead Road Construction by Timoleon(m): 1:29pm On Dec 05, 2025
It depends on the construction company in charge. If it's an indigenous company, it'll be Nigerian engineers in charge. What however happens is that the biggest and most visible projects are often won by international companies who of course use their personnel but must fill in quotas with locals too.

You are right. A lot of people don't think. Those guys may be touts, they however are very aware that those ratel group are there for the clout and will use their abode for content and make money from it. That's why they are demanding money too.

Fear is not the opposite of love. You either love or hate the country. Fear does not overtake love or hate. If you love the country, fair. If you hate the country fair too, the country hasn't been favorable to most people. Fear is not an alternative to either of those emotions.

TenQ:
There is no problem with Ukraine never joining NATO if that is Russian concern

However, what has no joining NATO got to do with
1. Limiting the Ukrainian army size
2. Taking over Ukrainian oblasts
3. Ensuring that Ukraine never becomes a nuclear power


If, your claim is that
As far as a fair peace seal is concerned, only Russia can get a fair deal as they are the ones with the power to. Ukraine will get whatever others decide for it.

Then the only security guarantee any country could have is to own their own nuclear weapons . The non-nuclear proliferation deal assumes that nuclear states will not bully non-nuclear states.

If Russia in four years time decides to invade Ukraine again again, after these, what do you think the US or European countries will do?
You keep confusing morality for reality. Real life doesn't care about morality. What has deterred the stronger nations from head on collision is their possession of nuclear weapons for the most part. North has only evaded American invasion because it defied the international community and went ahead to create it's nuclear assets. Sadam, Gaddafi et Al ended up dead because they didn't posess these weapons despite false accusations by USA and NATO. As things stand Ukraine will get what others decide. Is it fair to Ukraine? Definitely not! But does reality change because of our emotions? No.

TenQ:
The truth of the matter is that both Russia and Ukraine are bleeding badly in this war

Russia over underestimated Ukrainian resolve to hold on.

Ukraine had been betrayed over and over that they cannot bring themselves to trust Russia over ANYTHING.

This so-called peace deal is a call for capitulation. If Russia could take the four Oblasts completely, they would have done it.

Unfortunately, Putin still up till yesterday says that
"Whatever" happens ALL the military goals of Russia would be achieved"

Meaning that, if Ukraine surrenders their fortress belt for the sake of peace deal, Russia can find the excuse to roll forward and take even Kiev the capital.

The phrase "security guarantee" is a meaningless because when the time comes, USA or NATO or Europe will not put boots on ground to help Ukraine.

I do not see Ukraine accepting this horrible "peace deal". It is like forcing a raped woman to allow her rapist to live in one of the rooms in her house
and saying:
If he tries to tape you again, call us!


A Fair Peace deal must start with a CEASEFIRE while maintaining the current frontline. But Russia wants what it could not achieve milleterily over the last three years on the platter of gold.
The peace plan tells a different story. It obviously seeks to appease, placate and assure Russia. As for the objectives of Russia, this is also very much guaranteed in the peace plan. No NATO membership for Ukraine, freedom of Russian speaking Ukraine, guarantee by NATO to halt expansion. You can choose to believe whatever you like, yet these are the current realities.
As far as a fair peace seal is concerned, only Russia can get a fair deal as they are the ones with the power to. Ukraine will get whatever others decide for it.

You think it is fair for
1. Ukraine limiting it's armed forces to 600,000
2. Ukraine to vow never to develop Nuclear weapons ?
3. Ukraine to give Russia all the lands Russia wanted?

Who is the aggressor here?

Would it be equally fair to say that
1. Russia limiting it's armed forces to 1,000,000
2. Russia to vow never to use Nuclear weapons ?
3. Russia to give Ukraine all the lands Russia wanted?


Above for your consideration sir
There's a reason the entire peace plan panders mostly to Russia. In international politics, might is right. Ukraine at the moment has very little ti bargain with other than hope. Russia holds the bargaining chips. Meanwhile USA who is supposedly pushing the peace plan has nothing with which to compel Russia to an agreement hence the war stops only when RUSSIA get what it considers to be fair to Russia. And this deal right here is not fair to Russia so do not expect the war to come to an end with this particular deal.

What do you suggest they should do regarding Boko haram, Fulani terrorist, kidnappers etc?
There's nothing they can do actually. Once these monsters are created, they can't be eradicated. The USA went into Afghanistan to get rid of the Taliban. They spent 20 years killing and displacing millions of people. At the end they left, and the Taliban is still in charge of Afghanistan. They have fought against Al Qaeda, Isis, Hezbollah, houthis, all of them are still in existence today. They entered Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, yemen etc destroyed the place, looted it but all the supposed terror organizations they went in to fight are still in standing strong.

PoliticsRe: 4 Months After Tinubu Launched N50 BN Tractor Initiative, Tractors Remain Unused by Timoleon(m): 5:45am On Oct 21, 2025
Not surprised. We gave a culture of wastage and corruption in government. Many projects end up like these. First the ministry in collusion with the legislative committee approved an inflated budget from which they divert majority of it to their private pockets. The contractors who are often money laundering entities owned by the same people in power take a huge cut and spend the rest in the project if they do at all. Then government spends money on commissioning for the media whitewashing. The tools are hardly ever distributed or they get allocated to legislative members who keep them in warehouses in hopes of using it to campaign in the next cycle. Many things successive governments have spent billions and trillions on are going to waste in one compound or the other.

Before you take anybody in as your domestic staff, you are supposed to take them to the nearest police station, let them do a background check on them, snap their pics and also get their NIN slip. They should provide two guarantor who must reside in that state and must be financially capable.

I doubt that African (especially Nigerian) opinion matters so much to the US and Israel as to sponsor such.
It does. Nigeria is one of the most resource blessed countries in the world. It is the most populous black country in the world
. While we do not have military weapons to fight them, a collective resistance to them could mean a serious devastation to their economy as many of the natural resources they need come from us or countries like us. A weak but loyal Nigeria/Africa is essential for their continuous access to cheap raw materials and labour.
