@cchukudebelu The U.S. has ocean as shield. Iran has mountains as fortress. Both use geography to boost their military strength.

@rxbuw3st Dr Tilde once held that, the Fulani elite had to assimilate culturally to retain their overlordship and prevent uprising. Another angle is the near perfect homogeneity of Hausaland. As for Adamawa they're heterogeneous so the Fulani could retain their identity easily.

A Nigerian leader dying in a foreign hospital despite leading their country for nearly a decade is a paradox. RIP PMB.

@cchukudebelu The UMNO in Malaysia under Mahathir was similarly corrupt but in CCPS's style as mentioned earlier. They practically built modern Malaysia.
One can argue at least PDP improved the services/financial sector as against APC.

@mobilisingniger Agreed. Reform the SSS to be about Intel, create a special protection group or unit to handle VIP protection. Create Dir Nat Intel with mandate of harmonizing Intel from the Intel community. As it stands the ONSA is too powerful and "lucrative".

@cchukudebelu "Poverty is not socialism. To be rich is glorious". Deng Xiaoping. A huge contrast to Nigeria's leadership who view development as rocket science.

@cchukudebelu In his The Grand Chessboard, Brzezinski argued Eurasia is the central theater for global power. Control over it is imperative for global dominance. A pivotal region due to its strategic location and resources.

@cchukudebelu Development and underdevelopment are two sides of the same coin. For the metropole to remain developed, the periphery must remain underdeveloped. Pol Eco 101.

@darkqubits I'll even pave the way for them.

@cchukudebelu Fuel subsidies removal and the depreciation of the naira are likely to create conditions that favor the influx of "affordable" and fuel-efficient Chinese vehicles.

@darkqubits Not yet. Lol.
