Ukraine never force their citizen to fight. You join the volunteer force to defend motherland and not conscripted by fire or force. There are Ukrainian-American to left Yankee to help out at home. Able-bodied Russians and running out of the country to avoid going to war front cos the war is needless and it's death sentence.
The war momentum is with Ukraine and sending poorly trained and equipped solders to the front will only make it worse off. Russian intelligence underestimate the resilience of Ukrainian and over-estimate there own capabilities. The longer Putin wait to call off the war, the likely this will be the repeat of the 90's when the defeat by Afghanistan accelerated the collapse of the Soviet union.

arzizhy:
Poor narrative. The Ukrainian army pushing back equally comprises of normal civilians who heeded the call of their president and stayed behind to defend their country.

But then the western media will want you to believe the latest draft in Russia comprises of old and haggard civilian and not point to the fact that most were ex military men.

Believe the media at your own risk and underate the Russians at your own perils.

You made valid points. The one month seems not feasible for all that to happen but you know online na... The story has to sweet to make sense....lol

babzo:
Yes, but not that quick. He arrived Canada 1 month ago, committed crime, arrested, deported.

There would be a process with appeals allowed. Both the process for the alleged crime and then then the deportation process. And If a jail able offense, he would go to jail before deportation.

I can't verify the story but people go to jail in US for killing deer off season. You do multiple years in jail if you kill research animals and a city in Florida was giving a $10,000 reward for information about a dude amusing some animal a while ago...

babzo:
Story looks like a lie. Even a thief or murderer won't be deported within a month.
What about the trial and process?

Raising interest rates is two edge sword. Naira value will appreciate but it will kill existing jobs and probably the economy will slide into recession. America is in already in recession due to interest rate hike. I know people who had job offer withdrawal by companies and there is hiring freeze in most companies now.

Alexas58:
A very nice move to curb inflation and help raise the Naira.
Most people would not understand the implications of this, since they don’t understand how the forex market works

You're very wrong about American joining military to feed their families. US military pays lesser than private sector. I made inquiry about joining and when I estimate my salary, I left quickly. People join Military here for various reason like benefits, VA benefits, GI bill but not salary cos they pay like $hit.

toxtimmy:
Think, use your brain...Ask yourself which war rich people dey fight?

All the wars US fought in my 30 plus years of existence were fought by[b] poor Americans who joined the military for money to raise their families..[/b]. The last 2 presidents of the USA Donald and Biden never served in Vietnam despite they were at a ripe age to serve in the military... Why?

They say people dey flee Russia...lol... Rich people of course are fleeing and it's nothing new, but they will come back to Russia when the war is over next year...why?

So easy to manipulate people like una by western media...You read something on CNN or BBC and gbam you follow like fly on shit...your opinion you are entitled to but why let CNN or BBC do the thinking for you?... Your brain or human brains is one of the most powerful machine but the easiest to control.

If you get dollar or lots of naira buy gold, or even invest it on a property or something similar... If you want to learn a new language learn chinese...the world have changed and all you see in front of you is evidence... Westerners are moving to China and Russia but you don't see that on CNN.

Western world no send Africa or Africans.

Time to pay up. Reason why fraud is ugly in Yankee when compared to Nigeria. You get to pay the money back with interest, go to jail and still can't find job after serving your time. Some States like Connecticut still take it a bit further by asking you to pay for the money the State spend on you while you was locked up.... Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.... Simple

Exactly. You want a motorcade? Bring it from home or you will ride a coaster bus.... Simple

Biodun556:
Infact, they load everything they will need in c-17 or 747 aircraft in advance before the president will land

Nobody stops other leaders from doing same

Russia and Chinese president would have done the same thing

It's not Biden. It's the secret service protocols. They leave no opening so the president don't get attach. They bring their own motorcade, ambulance, even fighter jets when traveling to hostile environment

I don't like APC or PDP but it's norm anywhere in the world. If government seize your property, you either go pay your fine and pick it up or the government will auction it. The question is.. Do Lagos state give them time to pay fine and clam their property?

Sonnobax15:

And someone was telling me the other day to vote in the landlord of Lagos as president of Nigeria..Make I go mistakenly go park my keke wrongly,next thing na to auction am out

Over my dead body...I rather sit-down my house on that day than to go cast my vote for who go remove my source of food from my hand

I will pretend I do not see the first part of your quote... Please don't storeaway. The risk do not worth the gain.

hammer567:
ANOTHER TALKING SHOP? PRETENDING TO BE HUMAN AGAIN?



WE ARE USE TO YARN... STORY FOR THE gods...

I do understand desperation make people make unwise decision but some decision will definitely lead to untimely death. Storeaway in a plane, ship is guaranteed death. I learned a single saying 10 years ago on NL.. " No lizard in Nigeria will turn to crocodile in America" Nothing in this world is worth losing your life for and definitely not Europe or America.

Rugaria:
The answer to your question lies in the bolded. The average pay in Nigeria can't take care of bills. This is the main issue. If you look around this site. You will see some people who are making reasonable pay at their work places but they want to travel out for better life. They're the only type that are at quandary on whether to travel or not. You will see them here opening threads , trying to sample opinions on whether to leave their work in Nigeria or not, to travel. The confusion is because they have something reasonable already. Essentially, they're not all that desperate because of the job the already have.

These ones that travel through the desert and then swim through the Mediterranean, all to do olosho in the streets of Italy, are in most cases jobless, I'll informed or barely literate and so desperate. Most probably working menial jobs in Nigeria. If they go to Europe or to any other country and make as much as 2k USD a month, when they were not making up to 50k a month here, is the improvement not massive? Our governments over the years have been a series of disasters! Nigeria is a desperate place already. Governments unwillingness to inform Nigerians on what to do when they travel or where not to travel to, doesn't help matters too.

Our quest to be rich at all cost makes some Nigerians takes unimaginable risk. Why would someone want to travel to Europe by road? What's your chances of making it over there in one piece? And when you get to Europe, what do you plan to do over there?
We need work ethics and dignity of labor introduce in our culture. Average Nigerians will only work white collar job at home but end up in group home in Yankee. An average American will do any job as long as it pays the bills...
There are some risk that does not worth your hustle. Road travel, storeaway etc is only runz left for people who do not value their lives.

Rugaria:
Thousands of Nigerians have died so stupidly in many countries of the world. If I tell you of the kind of stories I have heard about young Nigerians disappearing in Asia, you will shout. Many have been locked up to die for simple immigration offences. I remember mentioning this here some time in the past and someone turned it into an ethnic slugfest. Nigerians jumping off high rises just because they're running away from the immigration officers. It's so demoralizing. While most times, our boys are responsible for these sorts of treatments because of their wild behaviors, it has to be stated that in certain cases, racist disdain for the black color, which is very rampant amongst Asian security agencies, motivates some of these actions. Asians are more aggressively open with their racism towards blacks. The whites might try to hide theirs, the Asians will be crude with their displays.

The Nigerian government should be more specific in terms of the way the young ones are educated on this very issue. The dangers associated with these kinds of adventure should be taught in secondary and tertiary institutions, so that graduates trying to travel, should be mentally prepared and alert in these places. Again, stowaway, crossing the desert and all these desperate means of traveling out of Africa, are nothing but suicidal ventures these days. Folks should be educated about these dangers. Many Nigerian girls trying to cross the desert into Libya, have been abducted by very violent men from all these desert tribes! Many men killed for fun! Many have been abandoned in the middle of the Sahara desert and died in the most brutal ways possible. Few years ago, there was also a report in South Africa about some Nigerians dropped off like this into the Ocean by a Spanish ship. Apparently, they were led ashore by some dolphins or so.

It's unfortunate

Conspiracy theorist..lol... She is NOBODY. I am not saying this cos I am jealous of her or nothing. The word professor is loosely use in Yankee. A master's degree holder that teach in community college is a professor. Average professor in America does not make six figures. I quit my job as a community college professor to go work on trucks cos I make double yearly. Nobody is going to take her out cos she ain't important.

DailyRider:
Fear this white elites.
They might not fire you but i hope they don't take you out silently.
Sleeping and not waking up.
Injecting you with some cancer.
Sudden car accident and helicopter crash.

Hmmmmm i pray they don't reason her matter for coming against the dead queen.
This world, the more you look, the less you see.
White Elites rules and owns the world.
As long as this world exist, the whites elites rules and controls it and the dead queen was an Elite.

Nigeria is doomed and will always be a failed State cos of people like this. The reality is average Nigerians vote according to tribal allegiance and politicians knows that and always exploit it and always get re-elected. We will never develop when merit is not in consideration but where a man comes from before we decide to vote for him, offer him a job or even be friends with him...

She did not say those words when the queen was alive cos nobody will notice her and all her rants is attention seeking to me. She got the attention now and hopefully, her career do not take a hit.
Freedom of speech is not without limitations. If your private actions begins to have negative impact on your employer, such employer is withing it right to fire you.

jaeyking:
Well freedom of speech which she should have expressed when the queen was alive.
This ranting is actually cowardice.

Let the dead have it's peace

This same woman said negative things about Prophet TB Joshua when he died.

Now to look at we Nigerians

So do we continue to blame our woes on British empire
Remember USA was also colonized by them got their independence through the revolution war.

Nigeria's independence was handed down peacefully

62 years onward we still blame them for our woes.

We are our own poison

Absolutely but her job and possibly her career might take a hit soon.

Sergio103:
The message has been passed already.

That her single twit triggered many things from yesterday still counting

African always point fingers but somehow miss the real culprit. Canada was colonized, same for Australia and America but they moved on, developed their countries but here we are blaming our colonizer for lack of development even after years of mismanagement from previous government.
The Queen did not start Nigeria civil war, and like every human, she has the right to support any side that benefits her agenda cos as human, we are govern by self preservation.
This lady is about to lose her job and she is about to claim racism. There is limit to freedom of speech. If your private actions bring disrepute to your employer, they can fire you cos they have to protect their own interests.

OlujobaSamuel:
No good side to slavery biko

There will be inflationary impact and also trickle down effects. The rest sector ain't stupid. NLC, TUC ain't stupid. If ASUU get all their demands, then that is an incentive for the rest to go on strike and cripple the economy. I sympathize with ASUU demands but nowhere in the world you get %100 percent pay raise.

Roger3D:
There will be no inflationary impact on the economy owing to their relatively few members. It's not as if there's even up to 100,000 of them

I do understand ASUU position but nowhere you get %100 increase. Inflation will wipe out the economy. I believe ASUU can be reasonable and make their demands incremental over 3 years to allow the economy absorb the shocks of excess cash flow without correspondence increase in production cos government giving in to their demand will kill off 9ja economy that is already on life support.

Roger3D:
I support ASSU 100 %. Why should a professor with over 20 years teaching and research experience earn less than 12 million per annum? If the government refuses to pay then let the universities remain shut for the foreseeable future

You mean $500 or $5k? Who give $50 for unknown stranger not to talking of $500... He must be living in dream land.... I pray he get visa to Yankee so he can come pick $$ on the floor.lol

Spanishmilf:
He was even begging for $5k on a thread he created lol. He knows nting abt america
He is definitely a kid

How old are you? You should know by now nobody share contact except they are engaging in meaningful conversation and they want to take it private. I will not be replying your next mention cos we are on different wavelength. Why are you asking everyone if they live in US? Have a good one












.

Louis8796:
meaning.

Really!!! You can do better

Louis8796:
ok,give me ur contact.

Yea. Virginia.

Louis8796:
Do u stay in America?

Yes. No visa needed. Straight to Yankee, do you time and they just drop you off. Simple

shegzhkn:
You talking about abdulwali muse, the only surviving pirate that attack maesk Alabama ?

He can't be deported cos he never have a visa. He has not been to America though he's in American jail. His situation is unique just like the Somali pirate. Arrest them on the sea, send then to jail and drop them off to sea after finishing their time.

Creamypie:
Where are his worshippers on nairaland? After his decades in prison, he will be repatriated straight from prison to Nigeria.he's lost ownership of every Penny/property he seemed to have, real or imagined. He will be blacklisted like other criminals around interpol- connected countries... Europe, Dubai, america. He will never be allowed to visit them again like Ibori... Interpol give am better punch.

NBA is not Igbo's organization and Tinubu need Igbo vote to be president. While every regions has it bias but Tinubu candidacy is begining to be a hard sell even in southwest.

PandoraObi:
Igbos will never disappoint, that was why I know Tinubu will never give a chance to his enemies, Igbo are anchoring a program and you want Tinubu to be there so that unknown gunmen anchoring the program can shoot him down. Zombidients can cannot hide their depression and frustration

You're wrong bro. $$ do not expire.

crazygod:
Carry am go Mallam, he go reject am.

Why do you mean by expiration of $$? Do you mean it not a legal tender when it expire? I have a $$ in my wallet that was minted in 2006.

crazygod:
Put expiry dates on currencies. This will go a long way in curbing looting that can't be traced. The US dollar has a 10 year life span and then it expires before another is printed same with the pound sterling.

You did not make any tangible comparison or dispute those claims with fact or figure but only curse and throw tantrums. You can show what money was spent on, why those figures turn out that way. Trowing insult everywhere does not win an election.

kutashi:
And in 16 year of PDP, you have a train or compare the km of road constructed! The gains from the Agricultural sector!

Most of didinrin on this platform with virtually-nothing-good-to-think-of will not be able to look beyond the nonsense comparison.

For instance, looking at external reserve saved up by PMB along with negative index should tell you, more info is needed!

How much generated under Jonah and what was done as well as how much saved up?

Winter is coming! When it will be tedious for the idiot and sense will not non sense among you!

You can protest your grievances in more civil ways than setting people properties on fire. Don't do the crime if you're not ready to do the time.

Our problem is not sex but religion. I have friends that tell me they can't afford kids and hereby not having one anytime soon. Some Nigerians will tell you God will provide each kids you have hereby shifting the responsibility to God. Average American have sex more than average Nigeria but still, we reproduce like termite. The moment I checked UK population in 1960 and 2022 and compared it with Nigeria, I almost faint. Nigeria gained 180 million people.... Wow

samuelson06:
Poor people like having too many children because they see sex as a consolation to their troubles. And most times, they intentionally ignore contraceptives.

I do not blaming you and I saw firsthand how poverty progressively destroy lives. Growing up, I have a neighbor who was living fine while single. He got married and had first Son, bought him the best and by the time he got to 5th kid, he could not afford 50 naira to get card for general hospital. He almost killed his wife cos he want her to have the baby at home. I believe marriage makes most people better but what they do in marriage that fu$k them up real good like too much kids or lack of spacing in having kids.

samuelson06:
Don't blame me pls. I just hate poverty. Let these guys sit, work before they start thinking about marriage. And in your case, you clearly said it was was mom and I know women can manage money better than men.
