We are in an age where naval warfare away from home is not a good war tactics anymore
Aircraft carriers are sitting ducks for missile attacks
The USA has so far lost 3 F-18 fighter jets in this war as of last night’s count. Each one costing 70m dollars They have lost about 9 MQ-Reaper drones costing 30m dollars each.
And US generals are complaining that the war was cost them too much, as they have to shoot down Yemeni missiles that only cost about 10k using missile defense that 2m dollars.
When the war with Iran finally comes, all US aircraft carriers will be sunk
Great analyst, and what will happen to Iran that doesn't even have air defence system? Remember, Israel took out all their air defenses the last time the Ayetollahs talked too much. Kindly help us analyze in that direction too
As he alluded in the interview, despite the more advantages that Saudi Arabia had using same US-made weapons for 7 years and close to the Houthis, Saudi Arabia failed. The Houthis are the Sparta of Middle East. They will lead the Arabs to chase out the state of Israel out of the middle East if diplomacy fails in ending the Gaza genocide.
Wao, it sounds funny as it is no longer Hezbollah that will chase Israel out of the middle east but the Houthis. How time flies, not long ago, this was the song about Hezbollah, today they are as good as forgotten.even by their supporters who have decamped to Houthi camp. What a pity.
Well, the houthis should do chasing fast, otherwise they are iincuring too much damage to their little facilities.
ARISHEM: I don’t know he sang any song at all. It was the fuss created as a result of public announcement of the ban by NBC that made me watch the song. It’s obvious it will be one of the most watched song in Youtube
Same with me here. I wasn't aware of such a song till the ban.
God1000: he never did any of that to Jonathan, I'm not aware of such.
And to be honest with you, Goodluck Jonathan didn't do well as president, I first voted for him in 2011 and later voted against him in 2015 due to high level of insecurity and the corruption under his watch, his inability to control the people he appointed, but if you compare his government to that of Buhari and the current one, he's better than them
Jonathan is a man with good heart, but he couldn't control the cabals and they ruined his government.
I agree with you on Jonathan. He was doing badly himself at the time. The unimaginable failures of APC after he was voted out is making him look like the best that happened to Nigeria.
Obama too should not be feeling like a saint. The whole insecurity in West Africa especially, is majorly his thoughtlessness decision to overthrow Gadaffi, which led to free flow of arms in the region. He isn't a saint either
What is this kind of misplaced priority. Our politicians like chasing shadows instead of the real substance. This is how they will end up spending billions on this useless recall while the people go hungry
Meteng: A little while ago she was blaming the same INEC on this same issue
Albeit correctly. How can you be chasing petitioners for their addresses, email and phone numbers. Are they mad not yo know they should include those? It should be a first point of outright dismisser of their kangaroo petition
Hemanwel: Many a times, when you hear news like this, a glimmer of hope is born; but, after a while when reality sets in, the hope becomes dashed.
Before Dangote refinery began operations, everyone thought there was light at the end of the tunnel with regard to our economy. Today, the refinery has begun full capacity operations, yet we are still where we were.
I pray things change though!
I agree with you completely. I am not moved in the slightest by this. We all heard how many billions in dollars of FX Dangote was going to save us from. But look at what is happening now, importation using the same FX Dangote was supposed to save us is used fully for importation of fuel that could be sourced locally by powers that be. There is nothing like 1+1=2 in Nigeria. Everything is twisted
Asonaijaaso: Everybody is an armchair analyst. You are telling them to just sit back and wait till its their turn to get killed ?
Well, I am not stopping them. If they feel is their right to attack who will destroy them, let them go ahead. What's their benefit in all of this? They have already lost more than what they are trying to achieve. Again, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas were cheered on like this but you yourself know the position of things. I say again, let them continue
Asonaijaaso: If Israel finishes killing all the Palestine, what makes you think Yemen is not next on their agenda ? Maybe 10 years from now ? When your neighbors house is on fire, you better grab your buckets to help because if you mind your business, your house will be next. I hope you are intelligent enough to understand this ?
Well, is it ending well for them? I doubt. Their lord, Iran was wise to recoil after the last blow Israel gave them. If the Houthis think it is beneficial for them, let them continue, it is their concern as they will continue to lose the little that remains of their poor nation. Hezbollah used the same language of solidarity and we all know their position now. Far weaker and less of a threat than before. Even politically, they are being relegated to the back seat in Lebanon. Let all of them continue. The good thing is that, they have met a race that is as hardcore as they think they are themselves. I don't have any energy to cheer someone to their destruction
Asonaijaaso: They have been bombing them for 3 years and already begged for USA assistance......when are we going to see the destruction ? Nostrademus
Yemen is already the poorest country in the Arab world. Why can't the Houthis focus on how to better their people rather than looking for needles war that will further their poverty?
alcaptainero: Which road and bridges.. Fubara has not yet unveiled any project on his own as all the projects he commissioned are Wike's projects which he started..even the ring road that's under construction is Wike's brain child. This house of assembly complex has taken over 15 months after splashing over 19 billion into the building it's still at block and earth works levels showing slowed speed. And be reminded that it was Fubara's supporters that bombed the complex and he used caterpillars to bulldoze it down the next day out of fear of impeachment
Was Fubara meant to abandon ongoing projects under Wike or what are you insinuating? Is government not continual? What sort of reasoning is this?
Gboss247: Where you really expecting naira to appreciate when the CBN is pumping more nairas into circulation to provide liquidity for the new minimum wage?
The logic was based on cutting off the demand for dollars for fuel importation which gulps more than half of forex need. Dangote refinery was highly portrayed to cub our dollar need for importation, by government officials. While Dangote is saying he can meet local demands, importation with dollars we thought will stop is still going on.
Are you sure? This same song was sang a million times when he was about to refine fuel. How many forex have we saved? Naira to dollar is still very high. This is Nigeria where something as ideal as you said doesn't really work
Zionmdde: What dangote is doing Let's be watching While the masses are happy Some competitors who are supposed to checkmate monopoly and prevent the "cement" situation might be forced to close business with this price war.
In summary, this is dangote trying to monopolize the market. We are laughing now, but looking at how greedy dangote can be, it may spell disaster in the future
Iam not conversant with cement in Nigeria. However, I want to ask, is it only Dangote cement that is in the market in Nigeria? If there are other brands, what is their cost compared to Dangote?
smyo: choke who exactly abi he dey mumu himself. Is that the NGO work he signed, him downfall is very near if he doesn't retrace his steps
Yeah maybe you are right, for a society full of crooks who do not want their evil acts exposed. It is even a surprise he has lasted this long alive. By the way, he started what he has been doing before the NGO came in.
You can follow him to drag the monopoly. If it is fuel, build refinery join him, they are even issuing import licenses, you can be importing if you don't want to build, you can also build cement factory too, make we for rest for Dangote hand. Thank God no be him hausa brother be president to protect him
Nonybb: This is a raw material we have in our backyard here in Kogi state yet the cost keep going up. Nigerian problem is a spiritual complex issue. And a monopolist as Dangote didn't make it easier either. He touched cement and it went up, he touched petroleum products and it skyrocketed. Dangote was never meant for this country
Dangote don suffer, although he has never contested for an election, voted in office or grab power, neither is he a policy maker. Which kind wahala be this
Offpointng: He's not an OG. Just manipulating his way to autonomy and then peg the price at bout 2k when he knows everyone buys from him. You don't know Dangote yet
Why will everyone be still buying from him when there are cheaper options?
The man just the speak big grammar with so much emphasis on his academic qualifications. This grammar is only fit for an ideal and sane country. Nigeria is nether of the two. So kindly put the standard nonsense in the dust bin
