1. Having a large desert means that you'll have a harder time trying to invade the country. Do you think Vietnam and Afghanistan won against the USA because of its troops? No they won mainly due to their geographical location

The North Vietnamese communist nor the Taliban didn't defeat US military in any battle. I bet you think Wagner were the ones to push United States out of Syria too, right? When in reality 40 Americans killed hundreds of Wagner soldiers with just 1 wounded US Marine during the Battle of Khasham. Now Russian Wagner soldiers are getting slaugthered by the thousands in Ukraine. Russia has lost all of their best soldiers and generals and now they are having to recruit poorly trained conscripts using Soviet era technology. Thousands of Russians are are defecting and the Russian military is losing ground.

Also, you are implying as if the two other fodder armies like Mali and Burkina Faso would make any difference against Nigeria and ECOWAS. These countries barely have a functional military other than a shitload of AK47s. Let me break it down for you.

Niger - 2 Special Mission crafts, 0 UAVs, 0 Tanks, 0 Tank Fleets, 0 Mobile rocket projectors, 0 Trainers, 0 Self-Propelled Artillery, 0 Towed Artillery, 0 Fighters, 7 Helicopters, 1 Attack Helicopter, 5 Transports, 2 Attacker Crafts, 728 Armored Fighting Vehicles, 12,000 active Personnel, 0 Reserves, Military expenditure $287 million, 4.9 million Fit-For-Service

Mali - 0 UAVs, 50 Tanks, 0 Tanker Fleets, 1 Special Mission, 9 Fighters, 6 Attacker Crafts, 12 Helicopters, 9 Attack Helicopters, 4 Trainers, 1,294 Armored Fighting Vehicles, 0 Self Propelled Artillery, 15 Twoed Artillery, 45 Rocket Artillery, 19,000 active Personnel, $591 million Military expenditure, 4 million Fit-For-Service

Burikna Faso - 1 Special Mission crafts, 4 Trainers, 0 Tanks, 0 Tanker Fleet, 0 Self-Propelled Artillery, 0 UAVs, 5 Mobile rocket projectors, 12 Towed Artillery, 0 Fighters, 3 Attacker Crafts, 10 Helicopters, 2 Attack Helicopters, 12,000 active personnel, 4,500 Reserves, $434 million Military expenditure, 7.6 million Fit-For-Service.

This is just Nigeria alone without combined forces of the rest of the ECOWAS nations.

16 UVAs (another 8 on order), 6 Special Mission Craft, 14 Fighters, 24 Attacker Crafts, 20 Transport Craft , 28 Trainers, 52 Helicopters, 15 Attack Helicopters, 0 Tanker Fleets, 376 Tanks, 339 Towed Artillery, 47 Mobile rocket projectors, 30 Self-Propelled Artillery, 15,748 Armored Fighting Vehicles, 230,000 Personnel, 0 Reserves, Military expenditure $5.5 billion, 85.9 million Fit-For-Service. Nigeria also has access to the ports for resupplies and resources like oil.

I pity any delusional fool that actually thinks Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso alone or together even stands a chance in hell in defeating the combined forces of ECOWAS.

Politics › Re: 5 Reasons Why Invading Niger Republic Will Be Tinubu's Waterloo by TookDownYourMum: 2:41pm On Aug 01, 2023*

Lol, this is like saying Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso would stand a chance against France's Foreign Legion if they were to invade. These militaries are incredibly weak compared to Nigeria if you go by the Global Firepower index and have 1/5th of Nigeria's active military personnel. Nigeria also has the adventage of cutting Niger's petroleum products making for a very short war, It would be over before it started.

Russia also cant afford to assist much less fund another war front especially in Niger in their "possible" fight against Nigeria considering they have lost 2/3rds of their tanks already. Rapidly depleting their Soviet equipment. Have lost their best soldiers and generals. Started conscripting poorly trained soldiers into the Ukraine war. So, dont bother relying on them for help.

Edit:

Also, fighting terrorism like in Afghan is not the same as fighting a conventional, open war with a clear goal and target. America pushed out the Talibans to the mountains and caves, placed in a new government for 20 years and left due to political shit back in America. Talibans didn't win a single battle against the US military.

Total rubbish still whining that cops look at you badly. White people don't consider themselves equal to you. When out of their earshot, they call you all sorts of derogatory names.
Eg Clinton said that dude (Obama) would be getting him coffee.

Just because some ofl you are in that country and very oppressed, you look at people in Nigeria as backwards with choice insults reserved for us.

How you expect someone who thinks you are beneath him to treat you as his equal? Respect is earned Not demanded .
You defend the few examples of how slaves were treated But want to make blacks more treated harshly than others. Blacks have not been enslaved since 1865. Equal treatment is what you want . Noone prevented blacks from running businesses or working since then.

Could of sworn in my prior posts I said I was Nigerian, never said I was American only that I know the kind of strife they have been through and still go through.

As a Nigerian I have to laugh at this.

Ahh, here it is. On page 3842.

Also, your rheotic is the same kind of bs I hear from some black Americans online about how "all Africans hate black Americans, dont want to associate with them, and call us Akata's thats equivalent of the n-word" while there is some ignorant morons in every group that simply is not true so stop generalizing entire people, thats is how hate starts.

Lol, it has nothing to do with cops "looking at black Americans" badly its the fact cops harrass black Americans moreso than other groups as examples I already gave above, you can literally go take a look at the FBI statistics and findings if you want. I highly doubt they would want respect from a bunch of uneducated and conservatives bigots that constantly deny racism exists. Are you the same kind of type that would say BLM was were all violent based on a few pictures despite 93% being peaceful and only 7% being violent located in just 4 cities?

Did you miss out the part that Jim Crow was enacted not long after slavery for another 91 years until 1966 with both the passing of Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act? Last time they tried building businesses and shit for themselves during segregation like Black Wall Street and Rosewood etc, jealous whites gunned them down, burnt down their businesses, looted their money causing a massive loss of generational wealth over a lie. Lets not forget when Reagan flooded black and brown communities with drugs or how about when The Philadelphia Police Department bombed an entire block in a Black community in the 1980s?

You skipped the men being castrated such that there are no descendants. The Turks used captured christian children, the janniseries in their army, most famous victory being capturing Constantinople, now Istanbul.

Tell me where the blacks in Argentina went to.
Mauritania. Abolished slavery in 1981 .They still have some form of slavery today, masters can lend their slaves to others for exploitation be it labour or sex.

So much for black slaves in murica, who made 500k whites die in a war about them.
I'm supposed to believe white American were the most brutal owners, who enforced the abolition of slave trade n They had a unique system legally to keep the slaves ( democrats)
In other parts of the world, slaves were castrated, men sodomized and forced to fight while the women were kept in harems.

Now that California will pay reparations, how about African families being compensated for loss of their bread winners to slave owners in America?

This is about slavery in the Americas not the Trans-Sahara slave trade and the Barbary slave trade which both pagan Africans and Christian Europeans were enslaved even then they could gain their freedom if they converted to islam. Arabized Nubians in North Sudan and Southern Egypt helped the Ottoman-Egypt slave raid further into the interior of Africa so they could add slave soldiers into their ranks. As for castration, Islamic empires like the Ottomans not castrate all of their slaves, there are Afro-Turkic people today which most are descended from slaves and 40% of Mauritania is heratin (descendants of slaves), 30% are Arab/Berbers and another 30% of black Africans who were never enslaved, many Bantu Somalis etc, elites and people of Swahili city states are Afro-arabs and Arabized populous in Mombasa, Kilwa, Zanzibar, Lamu etc.

As for Argentina, thats a myth people like to keep peddling. They were not killed off, there are still 150,000+ Afro-Argentines in the country today descended from slaves. Also, modern-slavery ingeneral is a big problem but Africa barely contributes to most of it, Asia is actually the hotbed for modern-day slavery like India having more than 18 million people enslaved. Then you have all the Arab states like Qatar, Dubai etc that enslave Indians, Filipinos, and Nepalis etc. There is also child sex slavery which is the biggest in Asia, specifically southeast Asia which many white expats and white tourists from Europe and America keep alive, most of Interpol most wanted pedophiles are white. Dont get me started on the sex slavery in Eastern Europe either being a problem.

Also, I never said that US was the worst in chattel slavery, that was infact Haiti controlled by France which they had a revolt about, won, and killed all of their French slave masters. Out of that 500,000, 180,000 freed blackmen and ex-slaves fought and died in the Union fighting for freedom. It wasn't just a white Union effort. Once again, stop using party labels, the base ideology is what's relevant. Just say Conservatives.

Edit:

Slavery was and is still inhumane. Blacks were captured by fellow blacks , sold to Arab slave traders who in turn shipped them to the Americas and others landed in the middle east.

There was no racial concept in Africa, did they share the same skin colour? Yes, but they did not view the people they were trading as "their" people because they weren't of the same ethnic group. it was tribes enslaving other enemy tribes in their wars, debators and criminals, and sometimes raiding villages of enemy tribes. Would you say England enslaved their fellow white people after they thrashed France in a war? No, thats ridiculous. As ones who owned the slave forts and shipped Africans to the Americas were Europeans. Africans may have been the one to capture the slaves in the interior and sell them off to Europeans for stuff like firearms, but Europeans are the ones who bought them, transported them to another continent, and treated them less than animals for 400 years.

Shit, you try to justify all of that inhumane shit just because they have better opportunities in the US than those in Africa currently? Even then thats bullshit because stuff like redlining, given harsher sentences for the same crimes than their white counterparts, 9 times more likely to be stopped by police than their white counterpart, predominantly black neighbourhoods and schools are underfunded, understaffed, and underresourced, more black people are killed at a higher per capita than whites, less than 5% of black businesses receive financial assistance, and constant attempts to limiting Sunday ”Souls to the polls” etc.

Many of the enslaved from Africa ended up in Middle East and South America too.
How come there is not a single black who plays for Argentina yet most South American teams have lots of black people?

As for Saudi Arabia there are no black descendants of slavery. The word eunuch should ring a bell.

Yes America treated their slaves horribly. Listen to yourself. But remember the republican party was the one that fought against slavery that the democrats wanted to keep.
I repeat the democrat party fought to keep their slaves.

Lmfao, this argument.

If I was to be a slave, I would rather be a slave in Africa than one in the Americas because then I would at least know I would gain my freedom after a number of years or my children would be freed and not inherited like property and their children after that. Fact, most slaves in Africa could climb the social ranks to high positions of power and weren't treated like less than cattle simply because of their race (no concept of until later 19th century during colonialism) and still enjoyed some rights as free men did is a much better deal if you ask me than ones in the Americas. Most slaves were PoW but were later intergrated into the winners society.

Its not the fact the United States or other countries in the Americas "just" practiced slavery but it was the first unique system of slavery that was entirely based on race and the most horrific one. I suggest you read up on the Bacon's Rebellion in the late 18th century if you don't know it already as it will give you the idea of how it all began and where the first codified laws of "whiteness" and "blackness" originated to justify the enslavement of Africans.

As for the "wElL, rEpUbLiCaNs eNdEd sLaVeRy" just stop...Its a well known right-wing talking point from the American Right. Party labels are irrelevant, what matters was the ideology. Southern conservatives were the ones that fought for slavery to conserve the status quo, it was the northern liberals/progressives who were the abolitionists fought to end it like John Brown.

Even after slavery ended, black Americans still weren't free because a few years right after that Jim Crow laws came into effect that effectively made them 2nd class citizens and also bought them back to slavery-lite known as share cropping. There was also a loophole they used in the 13th amendment that a person could be re-enslaved if they committed a crime. So, they passed all kinds of petty bills that a black person could be arrested for minor offenses and convicted in rigged courts with all white juries and a white judge guaranteeing a conviction.

Your basically saying that black Americans should be grateful for their ancestors being enslaved because they can join some shitty sports team? Lmfao. "Despite all the beatings, rapes, tortures, gruesome deaths, the middle passage, ripping apart my family, and erasing my cultural identity, I am totally thankful to be born in the states because I can join the NBA!"

There is a reason South Africa dominates the list in higher education year in and year out according to the World University Rankings by Times Higher Education uses same criteria.

Accreditation is the separating of real universities from the shams, there is a list of criteria universities must meet to qualify being recongized internationally.

They must be accredited by recognized accrediting bodies otheriwse they would be considered invaild.
The Differences in educational standards may also affect the vaildity of the degree.
And lastly, the lack of trust. The validity of degrees from developing countries due to concerns of fraud or corruption.

Take the Regent University of Science and Technology in Ghana for example. It tries passing off a pesudo-science, creationism, for real science making it merely a front for Christian Indoctrination with none of the educational value.

https://investogist.com/us-supreme-court-outlaws-affirmative-action-in-university-admission-says-race-cant-be-used-as-a-factor/

Entire thing is straight up retarded.

Black Americans acceptance rates per capita were higher because the applicants were significantly less than the Asians who applied for the same university such as Harvard. Nevermind you have white people who are less qualified getting into the unviersity through legacy admissions add on the fact the people who used AA the most were white woman.

If you want proof for this, the Justice Department investigated Yale for “discriminating against white & Asian students” and found NOTHING but accidentally discovered that 43% of all white students are legacy admissions and 75% of those student should’ve been rejected.

I have never seen a good argument for this "forced" shit they keep talking about. The only time they have a point is when it comes to historical figures being race swapped that can be considered historical revisionism otherwise including a racial-ethnic diversity in your show to expand your audience is more likely to generate more profit.

What it really comes down to though is bad writing like the black best friend archetype that solely exists to offer emotional support, provide counsel or serve the white hero and has no other character outside of it. That is bad writing and rep. Anyway, the notion that including minorities makes the show bad just sounds like racism.

Uganda can do what it wants as it is a sovereign nation but so can the officials in the US, EU, and others utilize their aid package based on whatever they believe to be true or important. Reason the US cant do the same with Middle Eastern powers is because of their economic power over oil thats slowly diminishing as renewable technology ramps up. Uganda is not a self-reliant country. They are one of the poorest and weakest powers in the world with a high GINI.

But the law itself seems pretty stupid imo. Rather than focusing on more important things than worrying about what two consenting adults are doing behind closed doors, the government is instead deflecting attention from widespread corruption and ineffectiveness by targeting a minority group, LGBT, and using them as a scapegoat for their "problems" and makes said law to give the illusion of solving the problems of Uganda. Though the law itself was actually drafted by Right Wing US Evangelicals that have been a plague on Africa's legislation for a while now.

The story of Jesus Christ? Copied from the Ancient Egyptian story of Horus. Christmas? Copied from the Pagan belief of Saturnalia. Easter? Also a Pagan belief. Hell, Christians didnt come up with the concept of marriage. Marriage doesn't belong to any partiuclar faith but it is originally Pagan as well as exchanging of rings.

I am sure Saudi Arabia is a beautiful country but making legisation based on their irrational religious beliefs negatively impacts the politics, the judiciary, abortion rights, civil rights, and education etc of said country. For example, Saudi Arabia religion, Islam, gives men direction to fully dominate every part of a woman's life.

For a religious people that claim to be the posterboys for morality, chastity, and the principle of human values, they always turn out to be the most inconsiderate, immoral, and hateful people.

I believe Uganda is the first Christian state to have the death penalty for homosexuals and promoters of inter-communal killings making them not much different from Islamic states that Christians often criticize for being violent and primitive.
