China for all their noise, started to develop under Deng Xioping. Who is Deng Xioping? He was a brilliant administrator who opened up china to western investments, after decades of closure to the world which started under Mao. Western investments and companies flowed in , and china became rich. That's the story of china. It became rich because of America. But somewhere in West Africa, countries are closing themselves to the west. 2 Likes |

Imagine if Nigeria get a leader today that is both brilliant and incorruptible. Enforce compliance with anti corruption laws and rule of law regardless of status in society. Reduce bribery and corruption in public contracts which would ensure that US and western companies have equal shot at contracts along with their Chinese rivals in Nigeria. Use Nigerian wealth for the good of the people and stop looting them. Imagine the scale of investments that would flow in from America and Europe without even doing much. That's what African countries should be doing, not pandering to Russia to cover their own corruption. 1 Like |

The problem is that African leaders don't have an IQ to relate with western powers. The CIA tried to bribe Lee kuan yew in the 60s. He rejected it. They then decided to work with him to achieve his national objectives in a win-win scenario for both Singapore and America. Today, Singapore is developed, and is a close American ally. America is the best ally a nation can get. They practically developed Germany and South east Asia, including china by themselves. But you need to be have a brilliant and selfless leader that can play at their level and get the best deal he can get for your country. Russia is not a option. They don't have the wealth, technology or the governance to do any good. 2 Likes |

mu2sa2:America bombed Afghanistan to the stone age. They bombed it so much that all the terrorists ran into caves and stayed there to avoid being taken out MQ-9 reaper drones. America left, after their objective was fulfilled and nothing was left to accomplish. It was a total victory. They went to Iraq, and took over air superiority quickly over saddams Air Force. They destroyed his air defences quickly through the use of stealth planes, and made light work of his foot soldiers by night time bombing and the use of night-vision goggles Saadam's army didn't see where the bombs were coming from. The US was just taking them out like fishes in a barrel, until they all surrendered. The US army took over the country for years without any hindrance, and drove the terrorists to caves. They left when their objective was fulfilled, and there was no point staying. That's complete Victory. Look at the way Russia is struggling with Ukraine. Struggling to gain air superiority. America would have finished the job in a week. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

The US Navy is the second strongest and largest Air Force in the world, despite being the strongest Navy in the world. The US have the second largest Air Force, after the US Air Force. That's overwhelming strength. Is that the kind of force that Iran can withstand.? That is suicide. 5 Likes |

I would say it anyday, and anytime. America is the most merciful of all the past superpowers. Their democracy is their weakness. They are stronger than Rome, Greek, Persian and Egyptian world powers. Far stronger than those powers ever were. They could take the world if they wanted. The US military rules the air, sea and land by an overwhelming Superior force with the factor of 100:1 to the nearest rival. All these Iran, Russia, china BS is just noise. The worst thing that happen to any nation is to let America unleash that power on you. That's destruction untold. 3 Likes 1 Share |

WorldRichest:Nah. The day the US declares war against Iran, then Iran would cease to exist. For now, Israel is the one playing with Iran, not the United States. Look at Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. That's what an American war looks like. Iran still looks beautiful. Definitely not under an American war. When an unending stream of American B-2s , F-35s and F-18s drop their payloads, Iran would look like 8000BC persia. 5 Likes |

The US has actually unveiled a more advanced jet to the B-2. The B-2 despite the fact that it has no rival anywhere else on the planet is "old school" as far as America is concerned. The B-21 raider is the new toy in town. The only 6G fighter jet on the planet. They are currently working on the NGAD. The greatest superpower the world has ever seen. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Mattawale that was accused of looting billions as governor. His successor in zamfara recovered so many govt properties that this crook stole. Zamfara today, is the poorest state in Nigeria. This is the same man that is telling you that tinubu has done well, after he was rewarded with a minsiterial position instead of going to jail. Is that not an insult to injury? |

Nigerians have an IQ problem. You are actually judging a man who did philanthropic work with his own money in a region that did not even deserve it. Really? In a region with elected governors, local govt chairmen, councillors, senators and House of reps members? 1 Like |

Sorry, you have an IQ problem in the north. You actually believe a tinubu would have been better for you than a Peter obi. 1 Like 1 Share |

idealogical:Complete bullshit. Let's even assume that you are right. Where did sanwo olu get car and house to give her? Was it approved by the state assembly? What happened to a visit to the state house and a public handshake? Is that not enough? So if I travel from London -lagos, I will get a house and a car automatically from the govt? Is that how it is done in other places? |

Where did sanwo olu get new car and house that he gave to this lady who did nothing to merit such? The level of funds that the Governor of California cannot release without severe scrutiny, despite controlling a GDP greater than the whole of Africa combined is what Nigerian governors release with ease. Crazy country. 21 Likes 6 Shares |

blacknp:If at all, they will vote for tinubu It's just to quicken their own presidency to reverse everything that tinubu has done. And that's is why an atiku/obi ticket is a sure banker. They have no love for tinubu. All these "north hate Igbo" political analysis is BS. Wetin tinubu don do for them? |

AmotekunSW: The funniest thing I have seen is people like you. Somehow, you actually believe your hatred should be felt by the north. What has tinubu offered the north during his presidency that they will hate obi irrationally like you do? Is it the inflation or the nepotism? The over taxation or the high cost of living? Wetin your papa don do for them? You hate obi so much yet he got 6 million votes winning the two most diversified cities in Nigeria with a small party that has never won more than one state before. He was so popular that many people won senatorial and house of reps seat through his mandate. Shouldn't that tell you that your hatred is for your pocket? If every Nigerian was like you, would obi have gotten even 10 votes? You are a true clown. I didn't give a fuuckkk about how the ticket is used. Any combination of atiku and obi will remove tinubu. 1 Like |

If Nigerians are smart, they would ignore these foreign airlines and keep patronizing airpeace. That's their only hope for affordable airfare. If these foreign airlines succesd in muscling out airpeace, they would go back to the expensive prices the very next day. It's a guarantee. They already have the advantage of scale that airpeace does not have. Nigerians must support airpeace with everything. It's for our own good. 26 Likes 1 Share |
