Sorry its long but please read and understand very well.
I did a research on Proforce in the past and even recently infact their group name is Olakleen. The way they owe salaries to staffs CRAZY. Not a single staff is collecting his/her salary ontime leaving them to loans and defaults to all their creditors up and down they have very little Expatriate and guess what they owe them months on salaries. I was forced to write this because one of their top Expatriate resigned recently and he was owed erroneously in months before leaving that was what necessitated his resignation and went back to his country with his Family. If you are a good man or woman avoid this company. They paint themselves so bright in the outside world but enter and get the worse experience of your lifetime. 13th month bonus is not paid until another year or months if they care. Staffs benefits and entitlements those ones are under their feet ages before they get paid. Pension that one matter they owe it steadily until you resign and begin send them mails like I do before they pay. Infact salary has no date(s). Debts Debts and Debts is what all the staffs is doing and they all default in repayment and when salaries are paid all goes to debts even unending debts thats recycling. Can you imagine I made investigation background and non has received salary till today for a proclaimed structured and standard company. Are Ijebus really like this generally because the owner is an Ijebu Man and I hear they are not always wishing well anyone around them? You dont wish anyone around you well you change their destiny and to leave sef na wahala. For once please pay your staffs on or before month end do it for 6months or 12months and see how well your company will grow massively. Let your staffs be happy and see if they wont specially be praying for you. WICKED MAN. Staffs in the company are seriously hungry and struggling. Can you imagine no salary being paid on time for years not once before the month ends. I made investigation of staffs even those that have left the company for time past and yet they say same thing salary is headache and yet this man travels round the world. The company just exhibited in Eurosatory in spending thousands of dollars only to no profitable reward please why cant you shift that money to the welfare of your staffs? In the history of your company pay your staffs ontime not spending all the money on personal debts as they have families depending on them. You recently sent off some of your staffs alot of them dont wish to come back again because of your BAD WAY.
They dont even pay benefits due to staffs, pension payment that one we cant even go that level because they dont pay monthly yet they deduct from staffs and refuse to pay only when they feel like same with salaries. You can work months and not get paid and yet they paint themselves in pride to the world to see while the staffs are seriously living in debts everytime and every month and they have serious inflows into their s oooo but would rather not spend it paying salaries to staffs.
I am so angry and I heard he's one of the right man sons of Daddy GO of RCCG infact they do so much to Daddy GO but would neglect his own staffs thats called eye service and he's a Redeem Pastor
I understand your story but you should have posted atleast one or more proofs to your statement. If not it won't be taken seriously, any research work to back up your claims?..... Any documents or testimonials to prove anything?
Officially, Vladimir Putin is the most powerful man in the world right now
Lol it changes nothing, Putin has 0 influence over british politics and Boris had it coming already, he just used ukraine war to temper it for some time.
Nigeria got alot of problems. I keep saying that the Nigerian problem is like a big Iroko tree with branches, a stem and roots. The Nigerian authorities keep cutting the branches and scratching off the barks from the stems. Meanwhile, the solution to the problem is cutting off the roots entirely.
The Nigerian security issues start right from the recruitment process and military depots. Where if you don't have people in top places you can't get itted or recruited. People are not selected by merit but by "connection" and bribery. People fake their certificates and come here. Alotta people who are recruited are way older than the age limit. The authorities don't care about background checks as far as they get what they want. Only a few makes it by merit.
These makes it possible for moles and fifth-columnists to penetrate the security agencies.
Corruption, mismanagement,illiteracy, religious extremism, tribalism, poor followership and poor leadership are the main roots of the Nigerian problem. Intelligence gathering, equipment and manpower are just the "branches on the tree".
Nigerians are not ready yet to make this place better, maybe till Aso villa gets burnt. The people are uninspiring and still playin with this fire that will lit this gunpowder.
They should just crap the police force and start all over again because they are just a joke now tbh
Comments like this only come from citizens of 3rd world countries. Apart from the cowardliness/supine weakness in the suggestion, it is also so low IQ and unrealistic.
In what country has this ever happened?. Even US against Panama, there was resistance.
How does a man with a good dose of testosterone and a working mind even suggest this?
I am truly worried for the quality of human beings we are sharing the country with.
So we from 3rd world countries are intellectually daft, and can't reason at all. Like most of russians ers aren't from us and west themselves. Check their telegram channels. Something I hate the most is that 3rd world country bullshit, downgrading ourselves *spits*
Exnavyboy62:
The world is not even paying attention to these guys
Is it not the same sudan that just finished fighting civil war?..... Dem get war blood ohhhh, nigeria is really lucky with our neighbors; now ethiopia is weak from tigray civil crisis

Paris keen to help Abuja create light aviation unit
The French armed forces are keen to be involved in the creation of a light aviation unit within the Nigerian Army. There is a chance that Airbus will supply helicopters, but despite Paris' , competition from Turkey's TAI and Italy's Leonardo remains tough. [...]
What do you mean Russia being sympathetic and acting with restraint?! You've been fed with too much Sputnik news. Russia ravaged Syria but still haven't won the war for Assad. Russia is incompetent faced that. So you mean Russia is so sympathetic to Ukraine that they sacrifice their Generals like it's nothing?! Do you have any idea how many Russian Generals, men and materiel lost in this war due to incompetence incompetence tactics and zero consideration of logistics and strategy?! The Russians have completely failed and your excuses only makes Putin look much more silly and clueless. Makes Putin and Kremlin look much more like a clown and circus, and a much more successful comedian than Zelensky.
Stop these Russian excuses.
I haven't even said anything yet..... I'm not making assumptions here because the facts on ground and propaganda is too much.... We keep watching, russia going weak or strong, we keep watching..... Putin or zelensky us the comedian, it's their business..... But you need to time down on CNN and BBC and check other sources
If Russia was that strong like you imply, then we won't see Ukrainian farmers pulling em tanks around like farm produces.
You keep repeating Iraq was too weak. Aren't you aware that it was the United States that weakened Iraq due to its sanctions?! Is there any other country on earth that has the ability to weaken a country economically like the United States?! My point is the US is responsible for the total collapse of Iraq both militarily and economically.
There's a difference between weakening a nation and no one opposing; you want Russia to just bomb their people anyhow that 1/4 of their citizens are russian speaking and of their ancestry. Russia strength is not of my business; but accept correction. Not just only me have explained it to you; over 4 people now and you're still adamant. Just stick to your beliefs, And America crush Ukraine and Russia will be watching it like TV. That is not middle-east, where everyone is flexing muscles
Although it might be devastating for us, North Korea got sanctioned not just by the US alone, but by the West in General and they are doing well than some middle east and African countries. I think Nigeria will do better if it falls in that scenario. We have population advantage
Lol, let's just stay clear of western trouble for now; and be submissive. That's the best solution; north Korea has China backing them up
Tinfoil:
Seems like Russia is heading towards a recession next year their industrial output is falling, inflation is high, and most importantly they have negative wage growth.
Even though in the media they look like they are doing well because of the oil revenue, the data shows that the sanctions are working
That's what it looking like... It turning bad for them as a nation
JOSCOFELIX:
oga if Russia and China have ed Iraq like they did in Vietnam I bet you USA will run dey same way they ran from Afghanistan. Sadam hussein
Might was stop when USA gave him an arm embargo stopping him from procuring spare part for his aircraft. Majority of saddam hussein aircraft was sanctionable. One thing u you should it is not about the number of troop you have it the number of equipment your troop have to fight that determine a war with worldpower. By James mark
This is the point I'm tryna make. You Russian fanboys should understand that Russia is not a superpower and the United States is one. That's why I'm saying that US would crush Ukraine in lesser time. If the US was fighting against let's say Turkey and let's imagine a scenario that the USSR still existed and ed Turkey with all its Eastern blocs, Turkey would had still been crushed. We saw what happened with the 1991 and 2003 invasion of Iraq. Iraq was bolstering with Soviet equipments and was still destroyed.
We simply can't compare alot of Soviet equipment to the Americans.
If they were that strong, they would have crushed Afghanistan, and no take 20 yrs...... Just like israel bolstering with us weapons but with no yearly billions of dollars of from us budget.... What will it make them?....... Just do your research about the persian gulf war. 2003, iraq was already too weak; us already had it tied after the 1991 loss
Even in that 1991. Iraq was just a scape-goat for US to establish their power after Soviet Union collapse and the embarrassing defeat of vietnam redemption, inwhich you see it hyped on hollywood. 2003 US invasion, is not even a war; Russian tanks t-64 to t-74 series tanks being blown up, what do you expect, Soviet are in favour of being large amount of light weight tanks in favour of heavy weight. Western tanks analogy is to have a heavy tanks as the vanguard but different from soviet doctrine that believes in a quantity is far better than quality in tanks and land warfare. Like towards the end of the ww2 before nuking japan; inwhich the us used their large amount of aircraft carriers to crush japanese 2 aircraft carriers after a suffocating loss from them,beginning of ww2 because of japan superior carriers then. That's quantity over quality that influenced the soviet and then Stalin ideology. He mass produced light weight tanks with cheap technology; so most soviet tanks are not as durable as the western/german tanks. If you want to judge the war, just it from 2 povs. Russia just barely recovered from soviet union collapse, we keep watching though. And defeating US, you can't use military to defeat US; just cut off their money and you have defeated them that's why US frowns heavily on anything against dollars sovereignty. Forgive my grammatical errors, not well now; so my typing is sloppy.
Just some.little corrections that's all..... Russia had their bad days, US also had that...... You can't compare iraqi war with us, which was just simple crushing in of equipments because no matter how you destroy us equipment, they simply make more; that's now terrifying fighting a superpower is but you on the other hand need to buy more unless you have another big nation backing you up just like in Ukraine situation inwhich the whole nato and EU is ing them. Zelensky knew the trick, so he went round asking for help.
Are you aware that Iraq had the 3rd strongest armed forces in the world in the year 2003?! But was torn into bits by the United States within few months?!
If the United States invaded Ukraine today like Russia did, we would had been talking about how to execute Zelensky right now
Strongest is different from largest, take note..... And it was 1990 that saddam hussein boosted iraqi army to be the 4th largest land army in the world. Simple recruiting can do that. Not only that, not just the us army fought the war, with nato inclusive notwithstanding, no foreign super-power tier ing iraq because then soviet union collapsed that's 1990.
Bloodofthelambo: What the young man said concerning G4 was just his personal opinion bro,
Africa's greatest enemies are not external forces, they are the "democratically elected" leaders we have.
Leaders who can barely manage their internal affairs should stay away from international politics.
Africans are still learning what nation building is. We need another 50 to 100years to develop.
We need to wisen up, we only have ourselves in this world and the way the world is going. We need to stick with eachother; it must not be all African countries but the few fairly strong ones and create a good bloc and be adding the weaker nations like EU etc
A lot of facts have been coming out recently; well, especially from our NATO side. Well, the presence of cia operatives was debated but from my twitter news feed; US seems to be boasting about it. Let's talk about the training of Ukraine for 8 years, many debated that it was false with no evidence but now even NATO came out open, asserting to the claims. What other theses are being certified?? we keep watching. On the other side, Russia bankwagon came out and said 72 foreign banks from 12 countries ed their version of swift. With all these coming into play, "when two elephants fights the grass suffers"; who are the "grass" in this situation, maybe the poor African,Asian and little nations. We need to come together and ally ourselves not Sudan and Ethiopia fighting upandan, we signed a G4, and now our South African counterparts are saying it doesn't matter. If we keep playing like this, I'm afraid Africa won't wake up. Alliances made Europe and us what it's today, we in our continent need to start doing this for us to stand independent. NATO, EU, CSTO, Russia-China, BRICS is the perfect example of alliances; it's about time we start forming ours. A good example is ECOWAS
You need to understand that this countries you just mentioned are not even relevant in Europe
British and some European countries are powerful today, is because of the way seas and oceans were used by their navies in the early age of civilization.
Countries without maritime borders can not be a regional Power, today look at all the big and significant countries in the world you will not find any land locked country amongst them.
Besides you need maritime trades in significant level to be able to influence your neighbor
Switzerland is very relevant though, even if they are mostly neutral; but your point is very evident
Lurker4Long: South Africa is becoming Europe’s alternative to Russian coal
Starting in mid-August, European Union countries will stop importing coal from Russia, which means they’ll have to find alternative suppliers. Already, South Africa is one such supplier, and the world’s fifth largest exporter of coal.
Between January and May of this year, roughly 40% more tons of coal have been exported to Europe from South Africa’s Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) than were exported in all of 2021, according to Reuters. Recipient countries include Spain, Poland, and , which did not import any South African coal last year, as well as , which increased its imports sevenfold year-over-year.
So far this year, about 15% of all coal exports from Richard’s Bay Coal Terminal went to the European Union (EU), compared to 4% for the whole of 2021.
The industry employs about 200,000 people.
Ukraine inherited 15% of USSR defence industry, srsly??..... And they're like this, looking for weapons... The video explains alot, and it has credible personnels like Steven zaloga
Dunce post. The Rouble is already too high because Russia is just as dumb as all you 3rd world irers of the fascist country. What do you want to buy from there?
Their new Lada will cost 2x the price of a far far better car from BMW because of the Rouble value that is high because the Russians are not importing anything but exporting gas to the EU which will soon stop. Everything will soon crash inside
How did soviet union now survive, with an economy of over 4 trillion dollars; that's the thing, soviets was a closed economy. So all these your economics won't matter, who told you they aren't importing anything.......
If I understand you correctly it's like you are saying Nigeria will put Western Sahara at the mercy of morrocan invasion if it extends ECOWAS hip to it and we wouldn't careless about them but just put our interest as priority number one. I don't think we are that "Evil"
Maybe, you wouldn't know unless you have the power; us wasn't founded with this current principles, it was founded on a strong religious principles even from their anthem and laws
As far as this war goes, all I can say is America is a hypocrite country.
They say they don't want war but keep on sending weapons to Ukraine. If these same military aid was given to terrorist affected countries, the so called "American led War on Terrorism" would have been history.
Based on my understanding the real deal is that the US doesn't want competition for the attribute of world super power so to prevent that they came up with the proposal of Ukraine ing NATO knowing that it would trigger response from Russia and it turns out Russia's response was the invasion of Ukraine. So instead of America to agree to Russia's of not expanding NATO to the East they incited Ukraine to go to war. Because of the inavsion everyone thinks Russia is the aggressor so sanctions are placed on Russia and military aid is extended to Ukraine. This is a strategy the Americans are using to destabilize Russia and they may do so China by using Taiwan.
Mind u America will do worse if Russia, China and Iran were to form a military alliance and Mexico was invited to
To me, us is not to be blamed.... They are just fighting for their best interest, if Nigeria was a superpower in her position; we will do thesame. That's why they trained ukraine for 8 yrs, afghan for 20 yrs; they have the money, they follow capitalism if a few bucks has a possibility of solving my problem; I will very well do it. Same with socialism which builds relationships
Stargate254:
True but we also have to note that circumstances are different in every war..
In this case it was basically Russia against Nato weaponry in Ukraine... We are talking about a Ukraine that is able to resupply and replenish weaponry every month.
If this was Nato against Ukraine, The US would have detroyed all air defences and air assets of the Ukraine on week one b4 enforcing a no fly zone over Ukraine airspace thereby mainitaining complete air dominace, then they would have put a blockade on Ukraine territory against getting any kind of military help from outside. And within a month Ukraine would have run out of military supplies, and any kind of replenishment within the territory would have been intercepted and destroyed by fighter jets in a moments notice...
If it had happened in Nato sytle fashion like this, the artlicles would be writing a different story and telling us that mordern conventional wars are determined by air superiority and not artlillery or tanks.
This is something people fail to keep understanding, look at us and vietnam war...... What make vietnam win?.... You think it was just that hot-blood or indomitable will; it ed but not fully..... Soviets then helped them, you could even see soviets pilots and a lot of soviets weaponry which gave america is biggest stain till today. What I mean to say is to counter another big opponent, you need a big one to match him too; if not you will just be bulldozed over like in afghanistan and iran etc. Ukrainie had ran out of supplies and it's money from NATO and EU that is keeping their economy afloat; lets not even talk about weaponry etc which you can see that they have started to send any new weaponry to the frontlines immediately and we keep seeing evidences of their destruction. This alone s my claim, nato is trying to play the same tactics of vietnam on russia and we will see how it goes;
