A land forcefully taken from the original inhabitants and was returned in accordance with ICJ ruling. Just because you want to take Greenland doesn't mean those who want to obey international order and directives should not.
Did the same United Kingdom ( Great Britain ) returned the Falkland Island to Argentina.

The answer is No.

Politics › Re: Chinese, Indians & Lebanese chasing for greener pastures in Nigeria - Shehu Sani by wink2015(m): 9:31am On Dec 15, 2025
Shehu Sani’s question misses the real issue.

Nigerians are not blind to opportunities in their own country. The problem is not a lack of vision by Nigerians, but a flawed political and economic structure created by our form of federalism and sustained by poor leadership.

Nigeria claims to operate a federal system modeled after the United States, yet refuses to practice it in full. Resources are centralized at the federal level and redistributed politically, rather than allowing regions to control and develop their own wealth. This distortion of true federalism creates an uneven playing field.

Foreigners—Chinese, Indians, and Lebanese—do not succeed in Nigeria because they “see better” than Nigerians. They succeed because the system favors those with access to centralized power, capital, and government connections concentrated in Abuja. Many of them can fly directly into the capital, secure contracts, licenses, and protection, and dominate sectors before local people even have a chance.

If power and resources were genuinely devolved to the regions and grassroots, the story would be different. Opportunities would be closer to the people, local industries would thrive, and Nigerians would not need to flee abroad in search of dignity and stability.

No foreigner will casually walk into villages, towns, and local economies to exploit opportunities where power truly belongs to the grassroots. Centralization is what makes this possible.

So the issue is not that Nigerians fail to recognize opportunities at home. The issue is a political structure that concentrates power at the centre and excludes ordinary citizens.

In this context, Shehu Sani is chasing shadows, not addressing the root cause.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH OUR KIND OF FEDERALISM AND THE POLITICAL LEADERS.

THEY BORROWED AMERICAN SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT BUT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT IT IN WHOLE.

THEY KEEP RESOURCES OF SOME REGIONS AT THE CENTRE AND SHARE IT TO LAZY STATES WHICH IS A REVERSE OF TRUE FEDERALISM AND RESOURCE COUNTRY.

Because of Islam and economic amnesty push, they will produce pictures to support rescue of hostages to help potray and project an invincible terrorists unit image but never pictures to support neutralization of terrorists or bandits as they like to call them. Isn't that wonderfully idiotic?
Leave Political party.

Most of the political leaders in Apc like Akpabio were once in PDP

YORUBA PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTH WEST PART OF NIGERIA ARE THE ONES THAT IS STILL MAINTAINING THIS "UN-HOLY ALLIANCES" WITH THE POLITICAL LEADERS OF NORTHERN NIGERIA.

The South West Political Leaders prefer easy money from the Niger delta region.

They do not want to pursue Agriculture.

When Fulani will enter Kwara state and Kogi State and start killing yoruba the media houses and the press in the South West will be raising their voices wailing that they are being killed by Fulani.

Now that their brother TINUBU is in Power they are not border fighting for RESTRUCTURING OF THE FEDERAL SYSTEM IN NIGERIA WHICH IS ACTUALLY "A UNITARY SYSTEM"

Bad market for all those Ogun, Oyo and Osun people claiming Lagos 😂

We said it that time will come that the true indigines of Lagos will be separated from chaffs from other south west states claiming Yoruba is one .

Who told you that Yoruba is one?

If you're not an indigine of Lagos, you don't have the right to claim you're from Lagos. Infact, you're no different from the Chinedu from Enugu and Ahmed from Kano living in Lagos.
But if regional government comes in the South West

The situation might be different.

But Lagos still have major environment problems like underground polluted water.

Atlantic ocean surge which affect the land area.

WorkTheTalk:
For their minds, Russia is winning the war against Ukraine. The war Putin bragged that he will conquer Ukraine in 2 weeks is dragging into years now. The same Russia is using dubious means to recruit cheap military machineries from African countries, plus borrowed troops from North Korea just to fight Ukraine, Yet he can't overrun Ukraine.

Isn't it insane for people to always compare America and Russia in military capabilities? America simply allowed Russia to fight Ukraine to expose Putin's weakness.
***************************************

It is important to move away from the oversimplified narrative that “Russia has failed” just because the war has lasted longer than expected. Modern large-scale wars are rarely quick or predictable. The United States — which many like to compare — also fought in Afghanistan and Iraq for decades without achieving total military or political domination. Duration alone is not a measure of victory or defeat.

Secondly, the claim that Russia is “borrowing troops from Africa and North Korea” is largely unverified propaganda. Both sides in a war use various international supply lines, but Russia still maintains one of the world’s largest standing armies, advanced missile systems, and a significant nuclear arsenal. It produces most of its own military hardware — something not true for many nations.

More importantly, the conflict must be viewed through geopolitics, not social-media mockery. Russia is not fighting Ukraine alone — it is battling a country backed heavily by NATO intelligence, training, funding, satellites, drones, and billions of dollars worth of Western weapons. If Russia was truly as powerless as some claim, the war would have ended long ago.

The idea that America is “allowing” this war to expose Putin is also misleading. The United States is deeply involved — and the prolonged conflict has revealed weaknesses on both sides:

* Russia underestimated Ukrainian resistance and Western resolve.
* NATO discovered that prolonged war strains its own ammunition stocks and economic stability.

If anything, this war shows the global balance of power is shifting. The U.S. is strong, no doubt — but Russia remains a nuclear superpower with enormous military and industrial capabilities. The world is not as unipolar as many assume.

War should not be reduced to cheerleading for one side or another. The real tragedy is the human cost — lives lost, cities destroyed, and a global economy shaken. That is where our focus should be, not in celebrating the suffering of others or simplifying a complex geopolitical struggle into internet banter.
