Am I the only person that saw a silent uppercut and knockout in this statement? 🤣🤣

I meant no insult, I'm certain he meant no insult too, just painting a positive picture of his description of people like me. 😉

The greatest threat to European security currently and the foreseeable future is not Russia but it immigration policies.

Ai will tell you England and France won the war then just ask the ai if they won the war why then did Russia occupy Crimea

Then the ai will apologise to you and tell you Russia won the war

I have done this to more than three ai from the western world

This shows you the lie they program their ai to say until you ask the proper question before the ai will reveal the truth to you

They know their citizens don't have sense to think properly and ask critical questions of history

Finland till today with Google keep saying they won the war with Russia but ask ai why Finland lost it land then it will tell you the truth

Dude I know your type here

"
After Austria threatened to join the allies, Russia accepted preliminary peace terms on February 1, 1856. The Congress of Paris worked out the final settlement from February 25 to March 30. The resulting Treaty of Paris, signed on March 30, 1856, guaranteed the integrity of Ottoman Turkey and obliged Russia to surrender southern Bessarabia(Moldova and some part of Ukraine ), at the mouth of the Danube. The Black Sea was neutralized, and the Danube River was opened to the shipping of all nations.

The Russians won against the Finishs and got Territories.

There was a time people enjoyed reading books and research, now all people do is depend on AI for critical reasoning. The future is bleak.

Alexis Troubetzkoy explained it all in his book.

Finally, when you say " people like you " you mean people who are capable of critical thinking and not people who depend on Al modules and Tictok.

Kingsnairaland:
Google what Russia did to England and France in Crimea unless you feed on lies oh is UK USA evil nato winning in Ukraine

Who won the Crimean war ? I hope you know the Russians signed off Territories to the allies during the Paris treaty in the 1800s. 😂

Kingsnairaland:
Those are mere tales because the island in Japan Russia could not defend it and still came back to take it from Japan when Russia was ready same with other places

The game plan is to keep USA closer incase of war so they can hurt USA directly first

I don't know what books you're reading but I think you got it twisted. The military might of the Russian empire was limited, the British and the French were the top dogs during this era and the Russians were no match.

Speaking of Japan, I think you're talking about the Kiril island, the Russians invaded and occupied it during the final day of world war two, a period the imperial Japanese army was at the weakest after being nuked.

I'll be happy to suggest better books to help you brush up on your history lessons 😁

Kingsnairaland:
You don't know USA main land down is far to hit

So giving USA Alaska is to be able to hit USA easily from that side in cases of ww three

So yes they saw the future and kept the enemy closer

The Soviets first offered Alaska to Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein turned it down. Then they sold it to the US because they can't defend it in a time of conflict
against the British.
Better to sell it than lose it to the British.

If you think i receive a single penny for everything i do here then you're more dvmber than i thought.

Russia's problem is in Europe, it doesn't need African voices or opinion to solve those problems.

I'm not surprised you reason this way. For you supporters of the west, everything is for sale, including loyalty.

For the price of a visa, you'll destroy your own country.

As long as they never colonized my continent, i have no problem with them. They even helped us defeat and set us free from the very same people you worship today.

Russia is an enemy to a handful of countries in Europe. No where else.

You can continue drinking panadol for the eastern european man's headache, that is your business.

I won't argue about who's dum*er, I'll leave that to the sensible people, all you've ever done is advocate for a foreign government, how are you different from the likes of Obedience40 and Gbadebo19.

You still had the nerve to call someone a coward, better a coward than a half-witted sellout.

Your holier than thou Russia had imperialist interest in Africa, it was shamelessly kicked out before embracing the anti-imperialist policy in Ethiopian and Sudan. I guess you had no idea they also had interest in Djibouti ( New Moscow ) and Hawaii 😂
I would be happy to provide a list of countries outside Eurasia if you want, just to help you in your line of work 😂

Dem colonize your great grandparents.

400 years later them still dey colonize your thoughts even from across the ocean. Even to criticize them for your own country na sin.

As for me. Anytime, anywhere, anyday, I'll always remind them of the evil that they are.

This is rich coming from you, at least he's not a sellout, the very nation (Russia) you've been advocating for are imperialist, I'm stunned you have the nerve to condemn someone when your paymasters from Eurasia are colonist themselves.

You can't defend a religion without looking dumb because all rational thinking are jettisoned before you can embrace any religion, that would explain the position of the Author of the thread.
Insincerity against people of other faith is common amongst Muslims, to some extend Christians too but I'm not a Christian so I'll refrain from discussing what I know little to nothing about.
Culture and religion goes hand in hand, your culture buttresses the essence of your religion. Most (if not all) of the Islamic practices are Arab practices and cultures.
Hajj : the Arab before the advent of Islam performed the pilgrimage to Mecca, even Tawaf ( going round the kaaba)
Slaughter of animals during the pilgrimage to Mecca, these were Arab practices way before Islam.
The Jalabiya is an Arab clothing and yet every Muslim has one even though they are not Arabs.
Another instance is the naming, Muslim after birth give their children Muslim names just like the Christians, I don't know much about Christians so I'll keep my comments to Islam. The Muslim names have nothing to do with practicing Islam but rather another instance of Arab cultures creeping into Islam.

So no Culture and religion are inseparable.
The Aalafin is the head of all Shango worshipers in Oyo, Muslims need to learn to understand, a Muslim must learn to distance himself from such practices by rejecting the post but they all have other intentions.
That's why at the moment, only the Oni is fit to be called a king in the South West.
Kingship is a traditional stool, Muslim should learn to be tolerant. If a Christian can't be emir or sultan, then what are they complaining about.

Hoaxen:
I don't know. I'm only quoting what is on FP and social media

BTW: what is your definition of genocide?

Killing or the intention to kill a large number of people based on their religion, ethnicity or race and/or also displacing them.

Lawag3:
As for me I don't believe that.


Yes entire communities are being erased lots of lots of deaths And the perpetrators are mostly islamist terrorist but then a very large numbers of Muslims are also killed along side. many majority Muslim community have also been attacked so no it's not a Christian genocide. Nowadays the word genocide is just thrown around up and down. The situation is very very bad. But then it's something the Nigerian government should be able to handle. On this issue I don't know what I want to happen I want them to offer help but in coordination with the Nigerian government but then there's the issue of internal sabotage.

Anything to stop the killings though.

Very accurate and logical, these perpetrators kill indiscriminately and there's no discernable religious undertone.
I think the right term to describe the situation might ethnic cleansing, I believe the ethnic minorities in the North Central are being systematic wiped out and expelled from their ancestral lands by a certain ethnic group ( I no go mention name ) disguising as herders and bandits.

The government has tried to reason with them by negotiations but I'm afraid the only answer these people understand is force. Also politicians sponsoring these groups must be brought to book.
I don't support foreign soldiers in Nigeria

Hoaxen:
You claim denial by CAN but ignored this post on front page.


If it was Russia's Africa corps (formerly Wagner) coming here you guys will praise the move.

Quick question bro
Do you believe there's a Christian genocide going on in Nigeria ?

It appears there are no wonder-weapons in their arsenal anymore. Only the F-35 is yet to be shot down.

FoolishBoy419:
This is only the tip of the iceberg. Trump told US generals in their recent meaning that they have enemies from within and they would have to be fought (I don't recall the exact words he used but it is something like that). We will see much worse in the coming ywars

The funny part is that, most Latinos voted for Trump over Kamala, so they asked for it.
Portland is like a war scene and the Europeans aren't saying anything about it.

LordAdam16:
Serbia shot down Tomahawks in 1999.

Tomahawks do not even qualify as wunderwaffe.
It is a subsonic cruise missile.

This should be the perfect opportunity to transfer Oreshnik to Iran, anti-ship missiles to Yemen, and improved Gerans to Venezuela.
But Putin will waste this opportunity like the others.

-Lord

Serbia or Yugoslavia shot down the stealth nighthawk aircraft F-117 not the tomahawk missile in 1999.

Scorpio99:
I know you are kind of playing some plays here but let's still argue it.

To begin with, Salt's reasoning and that quote is quite shallow. Maybe we should go back to the social contract theory where we find the legal basis for the existence of a constitution and all other laws. Simply put, governmental actions, as long as it is within limits, whether good or bad are what the people have agreed to be governed by. It doesn't matter whether it looks criminal or not. Take for instance: Have you ever noticed how Intelligence agencies and other security agencies work? They are nothing more than the accepted version of criminals. They break the law to protect the law. Their breaking of the law is accepted by the people because it is necessary to protect the law.

Why are they screaming human rights violations when they know they are not perfect?

This shouldn't go to the US but the entirety of the United Nations. Concept of Human right was rarely reckoned with until the end of the second world war. With the establishment of the UN, it becomes a responsibility for the powers that be at then to carry the mantle of the agreements and resolutions and whatever else drafted at that time. The fact that the remaining permanent members of the security council choose to neglect their duties because of enmity with the US shouldn't be a reason for the US to neglect its own duty. So, it's not about screaming human rights violations, it's about duty and responsibility without which we all know that we would have had countless Rwanda Tutsi and Hutu repeats. Seeking perfection from any nation is a wild goose chase.

Why are European Leaders quiet?

Well, that's the only part of your question am afraid I am unable to provide an immediate answer to.

Why is Senator Ted Cruz not saying anything about people's rights being violated in his country?

You can't tell me you have listened to every Senator Ted Cruz's correspondences. And Senator Ted probably can't talk about everything. If Cruz isn't talking about it, I am sure other senators are talking about it. Why must it be Red Cruz?

Breaking the law to uphold the law is one of the very reason the Nigerian security agencies are in the position they are today, where exactly do we draw the line ?
What happens to our civil liberties if the security agencies can break the law while upholding the law ?
Your first paragraph also translate, the Nigerian security agencies have the right to violate your privacy by going through your phone or a suspect can be tortured even if he's right or wrong.

I believe these are serious discussions we should really have if the country is going to move forward.


Yes, it appears only the US and some European countries are more interested in upholding the human rights Standard, the Russians and the Chinese are not really concerned. That very standard is why I'm critical of the US and the Europeans for not speaking up.
Perhaps it's a Trump thing, have you seen videos from Portland ?
I couldn't believe my eyes, this is the same US Biden ruled less than a year ago.

Scorpio99:
Lol, I am never going to agree with the it was worse than the Nigerian security forces MO. I have only seen those things as trending on twitter, I haven't watched any of the videos. Anyways, to the below.....

I don't know why people tend to see the US as a kind of demi god that does no wrong. Maybe it is justify their own obviously worse standard or something else, I wouldn't know.
The mere fact that the concept of justice, fairness, equity, as we know it today originated from democratic America does not mean no wrong can be done in USA.

Justice, equity and fairness is a concept that human beings forever chase and will always continue to chase.

But one thing is clear: When these things occur in the US and the west, majority of people whose rights are trampled upon in most cases get justice (anyhow you define it). This can rarely be said of other jurisdictions. Not too long, police were still killing people for #20 on our roads.

At least, we all saw what happened to Derek Chauvin for kneeling down on George Floyd and causing his death. Chauvin is still in prison. It's very clear that he never intended to cause George's death.

So, if we can condemn US for the current ICE MO, why don't we also take a leaf from how Derek Chauvin's case was handled. But the only thing that is rampant in our own societies are the kind of ICE MO, we never or rarely see the likes of Derek Chauvin.

If we are looking up to western standards, common sense dictates that we shouldn't follow hook, line and sinker.


It's Gbadebo reporting.....

When security agencies break the law to uphold the law, they are no different from the criminals they seek to apprehend - Salt
Why are they always screaming human rights violations if they know they are not perfect !!!
I still can't believe this is happening in the US, the "land of the free"

From now on, Make nobody lecture anybody about human rights as e be like this now.
Why are the Europeans quiet about this ? That's the baffling part

US senator Ted Cruz is seeking to declare Nigeria a terrorist State ( No argument there) but why is he not saying anything about people's right being violated in his country ?

Why is no one talking about ICE recent MO ? Is this the western standard people said we should look up to ?
I saw some of the videos online, it was worst than the Nigerian security forces MO, where is the rules of engagement ?
Why is no politician in Europe calling out the Americans ?
How far Obedience40 and Gbadebo19 ?

⚡Foreign agents in Georgia will be completely neutralized following today's riots - Irakli Kokhabidze

The protesters who tried to storm the presidential palace committed a criminal offense said the chairman of the Georgian government.

Between Irakli and Serbia's Alexandar Vucic, it's hard to choose who has the toughest job. They both have to wade off or balance out Russian and Europe' s influence, yet they need money from both.

The EU provides 85 million euros annually for Georgia, while the country would be in shambles without Russia's FDI.

From his arguments concerning Nigeria, even a goat clearly understands this man has zero political leanings as far as political parties are concerned. They are ready tagging him APC supporter.
Who paid these people's school fees for Christ sake!!!!

I think he's very optimistic about Nigeria's prospects under another political party, I really admire his optimism, I honestly do.
It also took me sometime to also realize the political quagmire we have woven ourselves into.

Jovi10:
Of course I understand this. But you see APC is on another level of backwardness. It's like everyone in that party don't have sense . Even the ones who have , once they join the party, they just start reasoning backwards.


Tribalism, terrorism is now on a very high level than we have ever seen with any other party at the helm of affairs.

I think you're missing the point, before 2013 there was no APC, everyone in APC were members of a parties Like ACN (in the South West), CPC ( in the North ), ANPP (also in the south west) and nPDP.
I think you harbor an illusion that other parties are different, everyone in APC today were members of other parties, APC in itself is just a label to mislead Nigerians, it's still the same set of politicians.
Like I said before, there's nothing new happening, if the PDP wins election today people in APC will join them and they'll continue to rule together.

The issue of tribalism, terrorism and banditry has been in our political sphere since time immemorial. The government indirectly supports these things, the government rewarded the militant in Niger Delta with the Amnesty program, just as they are rewarding the so called " repentant Boko haram"
We have government official negotiating with bandits, all of these are clear indications we have always had a government that encourages political saboteurs.

Jovi10:
We have been left behind since. It will only get worse if we don't send APC packing

If you understand the Nigerian political situation, you'll observe the party does not really matter.
The same people who were in the PDP are now in the APC.
The new ADC is a coalition of old politicians that were once in the ruling party. Nothing new is happening in our political scene.
All the political parties lack distinct ideologies.
Can you name one thing in particular that sets other parties apart from APC ? Just one thing
If the APC loses election today, the politicians would flock to the new ruling political parties.
So Nigerians have no choice but to keep recycling the same content except in different containers.

If they can't finance it, how will Russia get their money back?

The GERD project is about 4 billion to 5 billion dollars
"
One of the most remarkable aspects of the project lies in its financing. Rejecting external interference, Addis Ababa decided to finance the GERD without direct recourse to international donors or multilateral financial institutions. The funding was provided by the Ethiopian state, through national bonds, popular contributions, deductions from civil servants, and patriotic campaigns. This unprecedented financial mobilization was presented as an act of economic sovereignty and national pride.

I think they can afford it, they saw an opportunity to not only solve their power situation but also export power to four other countries.
Governance is not rocket science.

An action plan on development and construction of the facility was signed during a nuclear power forum by the general director of Rosatom, Aleksei Likhachev, and Ashebir Balcha, CEO of the Ethiopian Electric Company, RIA said.

But, but, but Russia and China have already recognized the Palestine state, what good will be few European nations do?? I thought Russia and China were the "supposedly" super powers!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

While the Jews are making moves around Jerusalem, beefing up diplomatic holds on the ground by allocating forgien embassies and consulate on the said territory, others are busy hyping a mere recognitions which changes nothing on the ground

Even Taiwan with a more robust diplomatic tentacles than Palestine can't be called a sovereign state, so if a few European countries were to recognized Taiwan as a sovereign state those that makes it a state??

People make comments based on emotions and not the reality of things.
Kosovo was backed by the US and yet it's still not recognized by the UNSC because both Russia and China were against it.
The SADR declared independence around 76, recognized by the almost all of AU but the US stood in the way of it Statehood.
There's Somaliland, the largest unrecognised state in the world by de facto controlled land area.
The list goes on

The reality remains, for a territory to gain statehood, all 5 permanent members of UNSC must approve of it otherwise it's just a piece of land.

Can you imagine England having anti-immigration protests lately? Like WTF
Same England that occupied half of the world for nearly two centuries. Not only occupied but also plundered.
If Liechtenstein embarks on anti-immigration protests, that would be understandable but England.

Gbadebo19:
One very criminal offence these people that carry Abrahamaic religion for head commit is that they equate the Esu in Yoruba traditional religion to the Satan in the Abrahamaic religions. It is so bad that if you ask any random person who Esu is, they just tell you it is Satan without a second thought

Far from it. The Yoruba traditional religion does not recognize an adversary to Orunmila and Esu is just one of the many messengers of Orunmila unlike the Abrahamaic religions that see Satan as an adversary to their god.

But like you said, a lot of knowledge has been lost.

This is one of the most intelligent things I have read on nairaland, Esu in Yoruba tradition religion is not the same as Satan. I think some people in an attempt to spread the gospel and Islam agreed to tarnish the Yoruba religion by substituting Esu for Satan.

I think they even went as far as saying the devil is black or wears black and angels wear white. How people failed to see through all these for years is mind boggling.
