but they have steady light and we don't here in Nigeria so who is fooling who.

We have light here, the problem is that the quantity is far below the requirements.
How many KWhs does Benin produce and how many do they require? How many urban cities are in Benin Republic. You cannot sit down in Cotonou and extrapolate the situation there to the whole country. Most villages and even some towns in Benin Republic are not connected to the national grid. It's like comparing the quantum of petrol needed in Nigeria to that needed in Benin Republic. I am sure 1 local government alone in Lagos requires more KWhs if electricity than the whole of Benin Republic.

Having said that that does not exonerate the incompetency of the Nigerian state for the poor power situation given resources available and utilized on power projects over the decades.

Hueman:
You clearly do not know anything about this system. Nigeria is a capitalist hell hole and look at how it is killing us left and right. China got to where it is with communism. Pol pot wasn't even communist he was funded by the CIA to cause problems. Stop falling for western propaganda. Communism is good!

immortal2:
Communism is good? So Cuba and North Korea are good? So China is good? You are simply naive like people who were calling for Shariah in Afghanistan but started panicking when the Talibans took over.

Both of you are wrong and also right. Communism which is an extreme form of socialism is bad. Making property and all factors of production kills motivation and innovation, since you cannot aspire to be better than the next person. The irony is that communism often breeds a special class of people with privileges to run the system. Read animal farm by George Orwell to understand.

Capitalism also can be bad. Feudalism which is sn extreme form of capitalism leaves land and factors of production in the hands of a few privileged class. They often form an oligarchy to suppress and oppress the populace. It also breeds corruption and a never ending conflict between the capitalists and the poor masses of the population.

The best model is to find a balance between the two. China is not truly a communist state and the US is not truly a capitalist country.

I wrote that. Taliban will go back to support Jihad.
The ISIS-K has claimed victims. They have been bombed with loss of non combatants.
There are no ground troops to disarm them expecting Taliban to do that is imbecilic because they were let free from Bagram by the Talibans.

I doubt Taliban will go back to supporting Jihad. Taliban had never been a jihadist organization. They are more confined to shariasing Afghanistan. Afghanistan us already a Muslim nation, they just want to implement strict sharia in the whole of Afghanistan. Their ambitions never went beyond Afghanistan. They were never directly interested in attacking western interest before the invasion. Their sins was harbouring and providing safe haven for Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.

ISIS and their affiliates on the other hand are jihadists, they want to not only implement sharia, they want to Islamist the whole world through terror and violence. So their two goals are very different.

What is your solution to ISIS-K right now that Talibans are 'friends' , and when the Taljban go back to their old ways?

Send warning letters?

I don't know the solution to ISIS save a return of boots to Afghanistan. Which the US public are vehemently against. Maybe there will be a civil war with Taliban and if Taliban wins, then the West will be relatively safe from terrorist attacks.

I was never in support of U.S. withdrawing from Afghanistan. I believe the US should have build a base in the country just like it did in many other parts of the world. The msin problem with the US is the military industrial complex and it's corrupt officials. US wars are too mired in corruption. That's why the wars are the most expensive anywhere in the world if not in history and that's why the US can't sustain a war beyond a few years. How can a 20 year war cost $2 trillion.
Sorry for ranting of point.

You have what psychiatrists called Cognitive Dissonance.

In one post you wrote;

[quote author=basilico post=105330451]When fighting a war with lawyers on the front lines against an enemy who hides behind civilians, attacks from hospitals/worship places or even uses ambulances to stage attacks, what's your recommendation.
And note that you don't have ground troops. Last I checked bombs are not able to identify and separate human targets.
Those Afghans.. I doubt a month will go by without hearing assault cases.

In another post a few pages back, you wrote;

6 children. What a blunder. There are innocent people who could not make their way out.
Knowing Taliban if they go medieval , those innocent can be punished for that.
Remember Muslims in Nigeria rioting because some guy had drawn a cartoon of their prophet in Netherlands?
Ignore this. I don't want to bring up religion here.

Some one has to have some really deep seated psychological issues to support Trump the way these guys do. Their minds are capable of holding two contradictory positions at the same time on the same issue, as long as it glorifies Trump.

Ibime:
Stop lying. 42 is a normal number in Rivers for one weekend. Ndoni/Emuoha/Ahoada axis can do that alone

Rivers is too small. Scores of people are massacred on regular basis in Plateau State. Just 5 days ago 35 people were killed very close to the University of Jos. You will not hear anything from them. They are more concerned about Afghans being killed by Taliban it IS-K. They reserve all their venom for Biden with nothing left for Buhari. You would think Biden is their president.

In The midst of all the Jos massacres, Buhari and his government were busy partying in Kano, but of course, they are not concerned at all. They are more obsessed with Biden. No day goes by without finding something to wail about concerning Biden.

benalvino3:
seems you cant read. I also post other videos of US bombing taliban after this deal i wonder why you did not touch them

I just watched the video and it does not help your argument. In fact it showed the Taliban broke the agreement even before the ink with which it was written dried.

The Taliban attacked an Afghan military check point, the Afghan military fought back with US Air support. Meanwhile the following week, the US still went ahead with the release of 5000 jailed Taliban fighters and Trump continued his withdrawal arrangement on schedule until he reduced US forces to just 2500 troops, with the plan to withdraw the remaining 2500 by may 31.


Even the Afghan President was complaining in the video that he was against the deal and the release of 5000 Taliban fighters.

caandi:
This is what president Trump fought for, and they didn’t value his efforts, now they’re calling for Biden’s resignation? It won’t work. You guys never wanted aGod fearing president because trump was against gayism and every other evil, you people abhorred him, continue wallowing in tears

I am a bit confused. Who is a God fearing president - Biden or Trump? Who goes to church between the two?

benalvino3:
The signing of the deal.
A complete pull out is based on a condition


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=534hdOu5g3k

Please what was the condition?
That the US will pull out ALL its troops from Afghanistan within 14 months on the condition that the Taliban will not allow terrorist groups to use the country as a base to launch attacks on the US and the West.

Is that not a very stupid agreement?

First the US will withdraw it's troops and then hope that the Taliban (whom the Trump administration would be in charge of Afghanistan) will not give safe haven to terrorists.

What will the US then do if the Taliban decides to renege on the agreement after the US withdraws all troops?

What will the US do if the Taliban was unable to stop terrorist groups from using some parts of Afghanistan not under their direct control to launch attacks on the US?

benalvino3:
Trump speaking to you directly ibime. He knows what he is doing and just like Iraq he would not have hand over the entire Afghanistan especially Bagram airport. Just like US troops stationed at Iraq and Syria... he left small pockets of troops there to oversea things.

and yes, His actions are based on conditions. after the Deal with the Taliban and Afghan Government, he bombed the Taliban each time they tried to advance


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRGOiwyjPgI

This speech which is 4 years old was probably written by a speech writer to appeal to a specific audience. 3 years later, he did exactly the opposite of what he said in that speech. He signed a document surrendering Afghanistan to the Taliban and wanted to invite the Taliban to the white house.


Two months ago he gave another speech in direct contradiction to that speech of 4 years ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAr3NpYVkpI

Trump does not have any position of his own on any issue. He changes positions according to the emotions of his base

DisLifeSha:
Good one from the US. I expect more retaliatory attacks from US

Just eye service or show for the US public. The US and Israel too always like to put up a show of strength to pacify their revenge craving electorate.

The US knew the planners of the bombing just two days after the bombings? How possible is that? The US that did not have intelligence that the Taliban was powerful enough to overrun the whole country in one week, suddenly now has intelligence on who planned the terrorist attack.

I am sure Biden just ordered the bombing of some remote mountain site to show the US electorate that he is tough and to pacify families and colleagues of the dead soldiers.

Notyouraveragej:
Who are biden advisors?

I clearly understand his decision behind withdrawing American troops, but what I don't understand is why was it done in an rushed manner? Leaving behind those heavy weapons?

They did not leave those heavy weapons behind for Taliban, they left it behind for the Afghan military. It was the Afghan military that handed them over to the Taliban.

You don't expect the US to withdraw all her troops and then withdraw all the arms and ammunitions the Afghan government and military would use to defend the country.

Jerryherd:
Yes his account linked to him domiciled on US soil was used to hack a Qatari man of 1.1m usd

Liar. The Qatari man never paid any money into an about bearing hushpuppi's name. The money was laundered through the accounts of Rukayat Motunraya Fashola, a.k.a. “Morayo,” and Bolatito Tawakalitu Agbabiaka, a.k.a. “Bolamide.

Is it that you did not read the details of the case at all before jumping in to defend Kyari or you are simply lying thinking no one would notice?

Jerryherd:




Sentiments apart on what grounds were they going to dismiss him over?

You are the one being sentimental here. A policeman was paid to deny the fundamental human right of another citizen and you are here belching "on what grounds were they going to dismiss him over?"

You don't just hand people sack letter without going through due process

The case is going through due process. If he was found to have taken bribe to deny the fundamental human right of another Nigerian, he should not only be dismissed, he should be tried and jailed.

If a Civil Servants commit an infraction appropriate punishment is stated in the Civil Service act
If a Police officer commits an infraction appropriate sanction and punishment is stated in the police service act

Agreed. Collecting bribe is a serious offense on it's own, collecting bribe to lock up another Nigerian is a more serious crime. Collecting bribe to lock up a Nigerian to facilitate a crime Husspuppi informed Kyari that he needed to keep Chibuzor out of circulation to stop him from busting his crime) is the most grievous offense. Chibuzor was only release 1 month later after Kyari himself appealed to Hushpuppi to allow him release chibuzor on health grounds.

In the case of Abba Kyari his only probable infraction is unlawful detention of Vincent for more than 48 hours. (1 month) without a court order

You can't hold him on bribery allegations when non of his BVN Account was used to receive suspicious fund or any cash traced directly to him
.

False. All that's needed to nail Kyari is to establish the relationship between Kyari and the account holder and to establish the relationship between hushpuppi and the account holder. This one you are forming lawyer for Kyari. Even Kyari has not denied his involvement in connecting hush puppi to the account holder.

Read the report to understand how deep Kyari is into Hushpuppi's scam before coming to defend him like a suicide bomber defending Mohammed.

thebosstrevor1:
This is a fair trial, he broke the police code of ethics and society trust.

Demotion is fine by me.

Children of satan won't like this news, some of them are already in a state of panic attack shouting fulani, northern this and that

At the end the trend will pass away for another buhari bashing thread

So demoting an officer for collecting bribe to deny the fundamental human rights of a citizen for 1 month is fair trial according to you? Most likely you are from the same tribe religion or profession or social group of Anna Kyari. Nigerian look at issues of justice and law from base sentimental prism than from natural justice.

basilico:
Why not let audits go on.They democrats go to court to stop them.

Because you don't expect democrats to participate or trust a Republican arranged audit to be conducted by Cyber ninja.

We are all awaiting the results and conclusion of the audits. I hope it will not be another Kraken.

basilico:
Why not let audits go on.They democrats go to court to stop them.

Which audit? Is there any where in the world that election audits determines the winner of elections?What do you think is the purpose of Republican arranged audits? Is there any place for external audits in the electoral process?The so called audits is to keep MAGAs fired up until the mid term elections.

Ibime:
Hi bro, what happened to Biden getting arrested on March 4th?

Very shameless people. I am shocked that some of them have the guts to crawl out of their wormhole after all the noise they made before the last elections on how Trump will annihilate senile and basement hiding Biden in the elections, even when all popular polls and the two presidential debates indicated otherwise. After loeing face, instead of keeping quiet, the are further humiliating themselves with a "Trump actually won and Biden rigged" narrative.

Tdotbluejays:
Even his own Attorney General called the fraud claims Bullshit.

Not only his attorney general, his vice president, his party's senate majority leader and house leader, state governors of his party, most members of his cabinet and numerous senior Republicans believed he lost the election.

ono:
Your entry does not add up bro. This man garnered (easily too) 70+ million American votes in the 2020 Election. You sound like one of the reasonable ones here and not some foul, loud mouth cursing dolt. Half dead Biden was rigged in by . . .

Will/Can you truthfully say that someone with that number of votes is truly unpopular among the wider US population?

Rigged by who? That "Biden was rigged in" has become an psychotic obsession for a few of Trumps followers.
Biden was rigged in but most Republican election officials, election observers, state legislative members and federal legislative members endorsed the elections.

Biden was rigged in but his lawyers said they did not expect people to be stupid enough to believe it.

Biden was rigged in and yet not one proof was presented in the over 60 court cases which they lost.

As I said, Trump is popular among republucan voters, but not so popular among the general US population. He lost the popular votes in 2016 by close to 3 million votes. He lost to Biden by over 7 million votes. If he contests again I am certain he will lose the popular votes by over 10 million votes. He has become even more unpopular within the US population.

ono:
Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) in full swing. At the mention of the name "Trump" the demonrats go into meltdown mode, bow in fear and tremble !! - even after he's out of office.

Trump is a hero among Republicans, he is a diety among MAGA cultists and Far right groups. But He is a non entity among the wider US population. And he is a joke according to the rest of the world population. He is the most unpopular former US president in history. He has not been invited for any talks or conference by any International organization since leaving office. Even our own OBJ and Jonathan has more clout than Trump internationally.

Livelystone01:
It is the military contractors that were fighting to keep the war going this long.

Better that it is ending sooner than later.

I feel for the young wives and children of those dead soldiers.

I feel more for the children, especially young ones. The wives were aware of the dangers when they got married to soldiers. In the Nigerian military parlance, each officer believed Nigeria owes them one bullet, and it can be paid any time.

budaatum:
He had a plan though.

What was the plan?

MilitaryLady:
total rubbish.
Stop making excuses for failure. Even a foetus in the womb knows the Taliban terrorist are responsible for this.
Your Biden lord and master is a failure, a weakling and a coward.

Eya. You are a very sad and troubled mind. You need to find some happiness and peace of mind in your life. You want Biden to start bombing people indiscriminately without confirming who was responsible for the terrorist attack?
You need to start reading the power of positive thinking by Vincent Norman Peale.

3minssex:
Nice explanation. This is the kind of reply I was expecting from the fellow I quoted initially, unfortunately it seems she's not cut out for intellectual discussions/arguments.

So, Biden's act is for political purposes..
@wirinet What is Biden going to do about the US marines that were bombed to death at the Kabul airport,forgive and forget?

Neither forgive nor forget, but compensate the families of the dead soldiers, give them a befitting burial and give them post humous honours. Carrying out revenge bombings would be a very foolish act. First you don't even know the identities of the attackers not to talk of their positions. It's definitely not the Taliban that carry out the attack. So who will you be bombing - just innocent civilians. You might even end up bombing the Taliban and exasperate an already precarious position. The US must still find a way to work with the new Taliban government to evacuate the remaining US citizens safely.

israelmao:
A weakling that wiped out ISIS?

No, Trump did a Rambo and carried an Uzzi into Afghanistan to wipe out ISIS.

ISIS was wiped out mainly by the pershmerga with US Air cover and weapons with with the cooperation of the Russians.

More than 50% of ISIS territory had been reclaimed under Obama before Trump came in. So it's ingenious to claim Trump solely defeated ISIS

One day you guys will claim Trump created the universe.

olmoRoc:
I hope they do. This is his chance to show the world he's just a peace loving president and not a weakling.

How dare those miscreants? I hope the president sends in air and ground forces to teach those virgin loving losers that there's a time for everything.

Then if 12 more US soldiers are killed, you guys will ask for Biden's head. The Afghanistan fiasco has taught the world than revenge is the worst reason to go to war.

israelmao:
Biden is not smart and he is a weakling compare to Trump who wouldn't have allowed Taliban's takeover let alone loss of lives of US marine.Biden and his cohorts rigged themselves into power and allowed terrorists to run amok that's what electoral fraud can do to a nation.

Trump that surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban in his February 20 surrender agreement?

Read article 2 and 3 that I highlighted. It was an unconditional surrender.

Trump is a weakling. He ran away from the draft. He barred any of his family members from serving in the US military. He capitulated to Putin, Kim Jong Un, Erdogan and even Xi Jingpin. He only has rhetorics, when the chips are down. Trump usually cower while giving a stupid excuse.

And you are comparing Trump to Biden to who actually lost his first son fighting for US.

3minssex:
I've been reading your posts on this thread for a while now. It seems as if where you're from,thoughts are only expressed through insults and unnecessary ranting.

Indeed,Trump started this whole withdrawal process,but why didn't Biden stop it? The dude has reversed almost everything Trump did since he assumed office,why is the Afghanistan issue different?

Biden could not stop the withdrawals without serious political backlash for himself and his party. President Trump had already primed the US electorate to reject US troops getting involved in overseas conflicts, just like he had primed many US citizens against immigration - both legal and illegal. Biden reversing the Pentagon's order to withdraw all US troops by may 31 by sending thousands of troops back would have been political suicide.

Babalola0920:
Because you are bound to think she does nothing WRONG and was killed,

Why not tell us the crime she commited to be killed in such a gruesome manner. So that's the Islam justice system you all subscribe to? You accost a woman walking on the streets, accuse her of a crime/sin and then summarily put a bullet in her brains. Even you that attempts to sound reasonable is sounding like a terrorist.

did you know the christain missionary kill more soul than Adolf Hitler they kill in the name of GOD do your little research and get back,

whataboutism. So the fact that christain missionary kill more soul than Adolf Hitler justifies Muslim for killings and terrorism in the name of Allah? Besides Christianity have since repented from their violent past, but Muslims are getting more and more violent.

also on all islamic nation point of correction the most Islamic dominance country is Saudi Arabia, Indonesia you see those Afghan, Pakistani, Syria have vast majority of muslim but Atleast 20/30% of other religions sects among are Christians but simply because they speaks Arab we took all of them as Muslim...

Saudi Arabia was birth in violence and till today, the Saudi Monarchy maintains their grip on power with violence - violence on women, journalists and the vulnerable.

Till the present moment any violence or extremist non muslims hardly been labelled as terrorist.

How many non Muslim extremists or terrorist organizations are there? 90% of terrorist organizations in the world are Islamic. Most Muslim faithful are sympathetic to terrorist groups and never condemn their terrorist acts but tend to justify them.

Fact there are far right islamic group in most part of Arab nation something here in Nigeria.

But that doesn't stand with islam alone also there are far right EXTREMIST christains except you want us to drag this further !

Name one far right extremist organization, how many members they control and how many terrorist attacks they have carried out.

pryme:
Ofcouse this sounds logical to people with grease for brains, your pointless article could not point out
WHERE TRUMP AS THE PRESIDENT ORDERED THE IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL OF AMERICANS FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN LEAVING AMERICANS BEHIND.

You people are brain dead

Read the timeline of the withdrawals. DID PRESIDENT TRUMP NOT LEAVE AMERICANS BEHIND WHEN HE ORDERED THE REDUCTION OF US TROOPS TO 2500 IN JANUARY 15 2021?

benalvino3:
Trump initiated the withdrawal everyone wants, Biden messed up the process and now at least 10 Service men are dead

Read the timeline and agreement of the withdrawal before rushing to defend Trump as usual.

Trump messed up the whole process with the stupid agreement (surrender) he signed.
