Omoh see cruise imagine Terrorists telling the government to return to work to come sign all the documents wey dey don arrange finish. Den no get mouth to declare anything abi you want make dem run comot for office again?

Taliban is now in control of Afghanistan, if they do not terrorize any region or country, possible they will be in control likely forever or for a long time. If this become true, I have just understood how life is not balanced at all.

Nigerian government need to really deploy means to combat Boko Haram, if one of the most deadliest terrorists are now controlling a nation of over 40 million, we do not know what will happen next. These terrorists always love to support one another.

According to their spokesman him talk say all their fighters don stand down for now say no more shooting, say make the citizens and foreigners no panic to leave the country say their fighters will not kill or intimidate anyone, the Afghan soldiers should put their head in shame, the fighters only take over Kaburl so what are the soldiers in other states or cities doing?

The Taliban journey started since 1990 it took them 20 years to a actualize der dream with all the troops from US and UN for the past 20 years nothing changed, Boko Haram started 2009 and their mission is getting stronger everyday. If the Nigeria government keep feeding them one day they will sit in Aso Rock our eyes go clear.

Kaburl is the capital of Afghanistan, and also the largest city. If the capital is overtaken, that is one message that the whole country is taken over after what the incumbent US President says. Even as the US support Afghan military, still they were coward and not able to defend their own country, if no US troops again, what will then happen. Taliban as taken over Afghanistan 20 decades ago if not for the support of US, now US decided to withdraw.

You are absolutely right.

I was reading some articles about the Taliban and I discover say they once ruled the country from 1996 to 2001before the US invaded the country after the Sept 1 dealiest attack on the United States and  took over and handed power to Democratic government, then Omar the founder of the militias fled to the South and enter Pakistan

To cut the story short they had a peaceful meeting with the US government few weeks ago that they will talk the Afghan government and accept amnesty that was the reason the US left the country, they fool the both nation.

The speech was after Taliban took over, this indicate US was not fooled, they would have thought about anything that would happen. Did you watch the video? American government really tried their best. What I noticed in the speech is that USnot after nation's building while the main focus of the US is after countering terrorism. Also that the polical leaders are behind the Taliban, that the Afghan government should settle any dispute between the political leaders.

Be it as it may, US is another country, Afghanistan should fight for themselves, if they are not capable, then why are they government? The survival of the fittest will rule.

If Nigerian government like, make they no tighten their belt, e go shock them like you said.

Naija will never cease to dey surprise us, dis our own govt he get as he be ooo makebuna na here wetin the cbn dey yarn ooo naira and it's value, na depreciation matter everyday o one naira will soon be age mate with one thousand, our own economy keep getting worse everyday, but all this govt agencies for policy and regulation of the economy offices na scam all their development news na scam, at this time naira still dey fall, ahhhhh make una read am below:

The Deputy Governor, Corporate Services Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Edward Adamu, has attributed the depreciation in the value of the Naira to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy.

Adamu stated this at an interactive session with the House Committee on Finance on the 2022-2024 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework/Fiscal Strategy Paper (MTEF/FSP) on Monday, in Abuja.

He explained that the exchange rate was determined by the forces of demand and supply and that there were three main avenues by which Nigeria got its foreign exchange.

“We have proceeds from the sale of crude oil, we have foreign portfolio inflows and remittances; those are the three major ways that we get forex.

“Crude oil sale has not been as high as we all will want it to be and obviously in the aftermath of COVID-19, the global economy grounded to a halt and the use of crude oil was also halted.

“To the extent that sometimes in April last year, we had crude oil selling at a negative, which means that people were being paid to store what they bought and so that the avenue for forex inflows was significantly reduced.

“You go on to foreign portfolio inflows, you notice that investors also settled their affairs on the side of caution and so, once COVID-19 outbreak occurred, they moved out about $120 billion dollars from emerging markets to safe havens in America and Nigeria is one of those countries from where monies were withdrawn.

“On the side of remittances, once our brothers and sisters abroad were not working because of the situation they found themselves; they had very little to send to us here and so, we also saw remittances reduced.

“On the demand side, we saw speculative demand on the side of Nigerians, if you needed a truck of goods, because you are not sure of the uncertainties of COVID, you wanted to get three trucks.

“All these pressures on both the demand and supply side, the availability of dollar became more difficult and we had a decline or depreciation in the value of the naira,’’ he said.

Adamu, however, said that a lot of efforts within the CBN and the recovering global economy were helping oil prices and remittances to recover.

”This is why we are happy that the exchange rate has stabilised somewhat; it is a moving target, but it has stabilised in the import and export window for a while”, he added.

However, the Chairman of the committee, Rep. James Faleke (APC-Lagos) directed the CBN to present its audited account to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) for scrutiny.

Faleke said that information available to the committee showed that the apex bank was yet to turn in its audited accounts since 2010 and about N800 billion was yet to be remitted to the Federal Government.

Adamu responded by saying the apex bank would interface with the OAGF and reconcile any difference there was and report to the committee in two weeks, through the Minister of Finance.

Who to be blamed, is it not the Afghan government? US tried for them. See what I quoted above again below. Did you know some countries like Turkey are supporting the terrorists group already, and if they have good agenda, possibly they will not be declared terrorists again. If they have good agenda, gone will be the days of the lately old Afghan government. Just like I watched it in Joker, one of my favorite 2020 movies, that 'life is a comedy'.

The Afghan political leaders gave up and fled the country, the Afghan military collapsed sometimes
American troops can not and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves.

We spent over a trillion dollars, we trained and equipped Afghan military force with some three hundred thousand strong, incredibly well equipped, a force larger in size, than the military of a nato allies, we gave them every tool they could need. We pay their salaries, providing for the maintainance of their air force, something that Taliban doesn't have, Taliban doesn't have any air force, we provide the close air support. We gave them every chance to determine their own future. We could not provide them was the will to fight for their future. There are very brave and capable Afghan special forces units and soldiers, but if Afghanistan is unable to mount any real resistance of the taliban now, there is no chance that one year, that one more year, five more years or 20 more years, years the US military forces boots on the ground would have made any difference.

Even in developed countries, their Fiat is depreciating. In developing and underdeveloped countries, their fiat is more depreciating. That is why we should use Naira for spendings, while Bitcoin for savings, Bitcoin is a store of value, while Fiat is not but just a depreciating asset.

Nigerian government need to really deploy means to combat Boko Haram, if one of the most deadliest terrorists are now controlling a nation of over 40 million, we do not know what will happen next. These terrorists always love to support one another.

President Buhari this week warned that the "war on terror" is not over, but is shifting to Africa. In a writing in the Financial Times, Buhari argued that more than U.S. military aid, Africa needs investments to defeat terrorism.

"We must not complacently assume that military means alone can defeat the terrorists. If Afghanistan has taught us a lesson, it is that although sheer force can blunt terror, its removal can cause the threat to return."

You see this middle East countries ehnnnn e get as he be o Taliban, alshabbab, Al qa eda, bokohoram, isils among others has their ground headquarters from the region, and their believe is to fight a war against any one not in line with their believe system, they are extremist and religous fanatics, they were been brainwashed and till the orientation is been readdressed only by the same false teachers of the law, their mindset for agitation will never cease to be, killing the terrorist is not the solutions because they have generations coming up to replace them and already been brainwashed also, infact more hotter than them, but if the so called teachers and preachers of the law who has started the wrong teachings and believes could be retrace back to the right and truthful teaching of the religion then they can easily communicate what they have started to a stop.

Pls be reminded that these followers and so called fanatics were purely illiterate and they respect their teachers even than the God they serve, all we need is prayers my brothers.

I fear those people make I no lie, no be small something I dey see for CNN and online via Twitter oh, I see video wey people dey fall from plane wey dey sky like as the plane they take off people grab onto am just to escape dats to reason u say the matta no go easy for Afghanistan. Sometimes I dey tank God say no matta how Nigeria crises be we dey get small sense not to turn am into war.

I no dey say our own batta but atleast e dey survivable small. You reason am now, for person to climb plane wey dey fly dat one mean say all hope is lost na. Wetin our politicians need to do now na join hands together comot power from northerners so we fit put people wey no go reason say na brother something and do wetin right. Dis guys dey terrorize our country and dey need go down before something wey we no fit control burst out.

We need flush dem all out before dey turn Afghanistan on Nigeria oh. Dis tin na wey dey happen for afgha fit dey motivate dem and before we know na, yaweh don gaz. People self no fit get their own money wey dey bank oh. Make una just get the idea now say if e happen here na same thing go happen, no trust banks.

Na America and other members of the NATO make Afghanistan what they are today, the Afghan were doing much better under the strict regime of the Talibans before the US invasion in 2001, since then Afghan turn victim and slave for their own country, US dey use the Afghan war dey use diver taxes to their pocket in the name of fighting one useless war for 20 years... I been don write on this matter before I go drop the quote.

Still perplexed as to why Americans and other NATO members have been battling less than 200,000 Taliban forces in Afghanistan for..[...]

Illiteracy and bad economy can fuel terrorism, some terrorists no get option than no hope the country can cater for their needs with high level of unemployment, but more dey to terrorism than that.

Boko Haram also have their goals, I still just dey happy say they never go more beyond Borno, they want to try enter through Borno and to Yola, Adamawa, Bauchi and spread from North East to North West. I have been reading it in news recently how bandits in Zamfara and maybe some other North West bandits are traveling to North East for training, they dey go to Boko Haram for training. But recently Nigerian army dedicated to wipe some bandit hideouts in Zamfara. We no know what the future can bring, these terrorists are deadly, Nigeria military are needed to be stronger to defend the country. If Pantami can have such thinking before, we know how many Northerners can also be thinking...

US dey use the Afghan war dey use diver taxes to their pocket in the name of fighting

Please, can you explain more about this, only what I dey read na how US done spend a lot to combat Taliban

Still perplexed as to why Americans and other NATO members have been battling less than 200,000 Taliban forces in Afghanistan for..[...]

I think the question should be 'why Afghan government are so coward despite US were helping them', the blame should be on recently dethroned Afghan government, 20 years of support is not easy.

Thé gaol was to wash money from the tax bases of the US and other NATO members and not to end war in Afghanistan. Most of the billions of budget going to Afghanistan was not really going to the Afghanistan and since it was meant for security nobody dey put eye on how dem use am so the money nodey go anywhere. The video I posted explain deep. Na the same thing dey happen for our military den go collect trillion of Naira for weapons yet we nodey see, e dey go back pocket.

The Talibans are fewer than Al-Qaeda yet about 900k+ soldiers was deploy from US and NATO to fight less than 80k illiterate Talibans without proper military training for 20 years and den still lose to Talibans  make una shine eyes where US dey ooo

I think the question should be 'why Afghan government are so coward despite US were helping them', the blame should be on recently dethroned Afghan government, 20 years of support is not easy.

They are not cowards they were single-handedly put in power by the US after they took power from the Taliban so ever since then na US been dey control both the economy and military of Afghanistan, the Afghan government were just following rules, even when the US withdraw troops and asked them to have peace talk with the Taliban the Americans knew what was coming. All planned.

[Charles-Tim]

Na America and other members of the NATO make Afghanistan what they are today, the Afghan were doing much better under the strict regime of the Talibans before the US invasion in 2001.

Girls were not allowed to go to school. Women were not allowed to have public life. If any women was found as a prostitute, the women will be stoned to death and deemed legal by Taliban. Women were not allowed outside of their home except they wear burga (the dress that will cover them from head to toe, not even hijab) and only if a male relative accompany them.

US was attacked before US military invasion just as you commented in one of your previous posts.

Na the same thing dey happen for our military den go collect trillion of Naira for weapons yet we nodey see, e dey go back pocket.

Yet, it was obvious with fighting jets, thousands of armour tanks, military equipments. I get your point, but 300000 foreign soldiers including Afghan milliary should be able to combat Taliban successfully.

The Talibans are fewer than Al-Qaeda yet about 900k+ soldiers was deploy from US and NATO to fight less than 80k illiterate Talibans without proper military training for 20 years and den still lose to Talibans  Grin make una shine eyes where US dey ooo

Illetrates but not illetrate when it comes to gun fight and war. US military tried their best, but is it worth dying in a country where you have spent 20 years to combat terrorists that do not not want to change after US military mission has been accomplished, also when the argument was that the country's government are not ready (putting in enough potential) to end the terrorists group, I think it is not worth it at all.

I believe US in Afghanistan for 20 years would help the Taliban to have some change of mind about againsting their women right abuse, although just a guess.

They are not cowards they were single-handedly put in power by the US after they took power from the Taliban so ever since then na US been dey control both the economy and military of Afghanistan, the Afghan government were just following rules, even when the US withdraw troops and asked them to have peace talk with the Taliban the Americans knew what was coming. All planned.

I do not think US were in power but the Afghan government will surely favour US, if US were in power, why are they withdrawimg their troops now, People like to mix up things when it comes to politics.

United State president later made it clear that American goal was not after counterinsurgency or nation's building, that American goal is to against terrorism, preventing terrorists attack on American homeland.

Went to Afghanistan almost 20 years ago, with clear goals 'get those who attacked us on September 11 2001' and make sure Al Qaeda could not use Afghanistan as a base from which to attack us again. We did that, we severely degraded Al Qeada in Afghanistan. We never gave up the hunt for Osama Bin Laden and we got him, that was a decade ago.

Women were the victims of the sharia law but they were ready to amend it to allow women get a formal Education up to the University level and also end to the stone to death stuff for women caught sleeping with another man. They are Muslim and those laws are not new.

Yet, it was obvious with fighting jets, thousands of armour tanks, military equipments. I get your point, but 300000 foreign soldiers including Afghan milliary should be able to combat Taliban successfully.

They didn't go to end the war they wanted America presence on their soil in an attempt to prove a point.UN never approved the mission even the one going on in Iraq.

also when the argument was that the country's government are not ready (putting in enough potential) to end the terrorists group, I think it is not worth it at all.

Where is the 3000,000 Afghan military wey US claims to have trained and equipt from the billions of dollars NATO contributes annually? My brother America is the most corrupt country in the world na just that their own corruption graduate from Harvard University. Did you know how much den bill Nigeria when we needed help fighting book haram via Chibok girls?bro leave this yeye people. The war for East is the only excuse why they are still the world power today even not China has overtaken them in everything except military strength.

I believe US in Afghanistan for 20 years would help the Taliban to have some change of mind about againsting their women right abuse, although just a guess.

US mission was to steal money from NATO and remain world power.

I do not think US were in power but the Afghan government will surely favour US, if US were in power, why are they withdrawimg their troops now, People like to mix up things when it comes to politics.

They want to show off military power just watch very soon den go invade again and take over power so that the world will depend on theirr military strength. Just watch.

You really got valids points. About the funding, I no know exactly if Biden was referring both to US and Nato allies funding or the amount of total funds contributed by US excluding the Nato allies contributions, but we did know say US is capable of funding a project up to that amount and they invaded Afghanistan with full force to fight terrorism.

We believe say the eyes of other countries wey terrorists dey terrorize don open now, the best help can only come from within the country, if the brain no dey to fight this extremists, they can take over a nation in which no other country go help. But, I believe say Nigeria no dey worst to the extent Boko Haram go invade Nigeria for now and take over the government as it happened in Afghanistan. Even if something like that go happen, we for done dey know. For now, e no go happen, but Nigeria needs stronger military to tackle Boko Haram.

 Guys these days scammers are pushing stolen funds to exchanges and once you pay, exchanges freeze your accounts. Be mindful who you are buying bulk coins from. Overly cheap coins and bulk coins with no sources too sometimes has egbese. I can’t start dropping screenshots or proofs of that. Try to use decentralized exchanges if you receive coins on exchanges.
