And the azov battalion was doing what to the Russians in the donbass region? Giving them pats on the back I guess grin. Even USA then named azov as a terrorist groups with nazi ideology, when Russia came in, same USA saw azov as freedom fighters. grin grin dey play your hear

Your timeline is incorrect. The Azov battalion was formed as a result of Russia sending non-uniformed personnel to start rebellions in Eastern Ukraine. If Russia had not launched false flag operations in Eastern Ukraine, Azov would never have existed.

When we say you people should read about the cause of the war una no go gree. Ukraine started killing pro Russians in the donbass regions, even burnt people they barricaded in a hall and set the all on fire killing these pro Russians. USA sponsored a coup in 2014 that removed a Ukrainian president who was more friendly towards russia.the rest is history now.

Russian propaganda again. Russia started false flag operations in Donbass and Luhansk with the active aid of the Russian FSB in 2014. Guys like Igor Girkin has confirmed this over and over again. Igor and other Russian officers even shot down the Malaysian plane flying over Donbass at that time.

There's nothing like Ukraine, they're all Rus people. The first Ukrainian state was in 20 century, it's all Rus land..
That aside, would US have invaded Afghanistan, Iraq if they had nuke?..

Why invade Afghanistan, Iraq that didn't violate your country's territorial integrity?.

Can US invade China because they possess weapon of mass destruction?..

Maybe you're just following this Special military operation, Russia surround Kiev to force Zelensky into negotiation and they achieve what they want but UK former PM was the one deceive the Ukrainian into believing they can stop Russia. Ukraine was ready to agree to the Russia demand, it's simple.. The soldiers that surround Kiev were even inform not to bomb or kill. There were videos making round then of Russia soldiers asking what they're doing in Kiev if they cannot bomb and strike it..

This is not the first time Russia is doing this, Russia surround Georgia capital Tbilisi to force Georgia into negotiation and they left after achieving their aim..

Nobody is begging them to gree, they're already dying mercilessly and using propaganda to boost their pay master ego.. shocked



This is Russian deception. Ukraine is far older than Russia. Go and read your history properly

How someone will graduate with 5.0 CGPA in a Nigerian university baffles me. Somehow it feels fake.

I don't really believe it.

Before you come for me, I graduated with 1st class and was the top of my class in Engineering as well.

If you finished with a first class in Engineering, then 5.0 CGPA is very possible

This one surprises me.

Alhassan Outtara of Ivory Coast (13 years),

Considering how he got into power. He's doing exactly what Gbagbo did. Sit tight by any means.

They always come in as a hero or saviour and after a while, they decide to stay forever in power. That is how it is even in countries like China and Russia. They continue to change the country's constitution and eliminate all opposition until nobody is left to challenge them.

Exchange rate cannot be fixed at a daily rate. It should be a real-time value based on the intentional buying and selling of commodities on the foreign market. A static FOREX rate by the BDCs is a scam to make cut-throat profits and this is where Binance is far better.

This is the fate of Africa. Already, Russia is already using its proxy, Wagner PMC, to cause severe economic and political damage across French West Africa. I won't be surprised if the Niger coup plot is linked to Wagner PMC.

pipnator00:
At the point, the best thing for Putin to do is to negotiate his way out of power.
Putin is so powerful no doubt but one thing about gaining such power is, you destroy your enemies while bringing your close allies closer thereby making them powerful indirectly. And the irony is that those close friends are the ones close enough to destroy you. Case in point, Prigozhin was a close ally of Putin yet he is the one destroying him. For the fact that Prigozhin could take over a town in Russian including the military headquarter there, it shows a serious crack or lack of full control of Russia by Putin.

...or perhaps Putin was never that powerful in the first place as it was just a perception and the eagerness of sycophants. Being powerful is all about projecting a perception.

If Aquaman and Blue Beetle underperforms, James Gunnverse might be shelved. WB needs to start making profit as it is cause I doubt investors would want to invest in coming DC projects.
That's why I am saying James Gunn better quit the media nonsense cause if Zaslav calls the whole thing off, it'll be a big embarrassment for him. He should stay low key, cause as it is, everyone is waiting for I told you so. Superman project is very different from Guardians of the Galaxy and would be closely watched and nitpicked at every turn like MOS and Superman Returns.
Gunn needs to shut up about the project till it's filmed and marked for release.

Yes bro. Hail Snydra!!!

Was Suicide Squad too not having the MCU vibes. My point is not even close to the billion it made, but the fact that the first 5 to 6 dceu movies have more of a connection also contributed great help to its success. Even if BvS did not make the money we all thought it will, it was still the BvS that connected and gave birth to Aquaman movie.
Like for me, aside the connection I was mostly eager to see it because that was the first time we will be seeing a movie that would be like 95% underwater likewise many people too...
But is it just a coincidence that these (6) movies are still the most highest grossing DCEU movies till date, and the only 2 movies outside the DCEU that can actually fall into that category did not even follow anything related to the MCU.
10yrs later still non of the dceu mcu-wannabe movies can actually do better by out selling MoS that we all called below average movie and was also very divisive...

My take is, the biggest mistake was trying to make the DCEU an else world MCU.

Yeah, they shouted back then,

"DCEU is too dark and broody",
"The colour palette is too bland"
"Comic book movies should not be serious"

Today, we have DC movies being opposites of these and yet nobody is watching these "marvel-like" movies again. Lol...

It was a mistake announcing things too early. Again WB management have made very poor business decisions.
I still maintain they should have found a way to monetize the Snyder verse and give it it's perfect conclusion while slowly building hype for a rebooted universe. They created more damage casting everyone out while knowing there are films yet to be released.

This will place unnecessary pressure on the Gunnverse and trust me if the first 2 projects don't make bank, the whole thing is dead. And bye bye to DC films, hello Harry Potter franchise.

WBD want to make quick money as it is now and recent actions have already made them infamous.

Thanks Bro. WB has cheated the DC fans over and over again and this has irrevocably led to its demise. Generally, the superhero genre is dying as its era is fast diminishing. I have zero expectations whatsoever for any upcoming DC projects. I cannot imagine for the lack of business sense that a powerhouse like WB will mess up its DC movies. Such a shame...

The most overhyped counter-offensive in history, not going according to plan.

Billions of dollar US taxpayers money on fire, yet again. Another billion dollar worth of Military equipment in smoke.

Why won't the counter-offensive flop? How can you want to start a counter-offensive in a brutal war like this, and be advertising it. The western propaganda media advertised and over-hyped it like it is some kinda upcoming festival. Ukraine defense even released a movie-trailer and teaser on it.

They all think this is a joke. A soap-opera.

This comment will not age well. Ukraine is already pushing into their lost territories as at tonight.

Tiopii:


The casualties rate is 20:1 and it took Russia over 9 months to capture most part of Bakmut, if this ratio was true, Ukraine won't be planning any counter offensive. They would have exhausted their reserve.

For over 9 months they couldn't go past Bakmut and now even with the allegedly total capture of Bakmut, their offensive has peaked and can't go further, Wagner PMC is pulling out cos of high losses and she'll hunger. But you people.
How swiftly Putin congratulated the Russian army and Wagner PMC you could tell they have been waiting for a long time, and the reason it took this long was cos Ukraine made it hard for them. Same Russia is now building defensive fortifications and are preparing to go on the defensive.while Ukraine is preparing for it's own counter offensive, this sceneeio should give you an insight on which Armed forces is exhausted.

Bakmut isn't as big as Yobe, and yet Russia with it's best weapons took 9 months to claim to capture it.
The defense of Bakhmut by Ukraine was a carefully scripted and planned war campaign, it will be remembered in the history of modern warfare. Even as we are speaking, Ukraine is already surrounding the city at the flanks to inflict maximal damage to the orcs.

Samantha, hows it going? Have you ever taken a DNA test from an ancestry DNA company in SA to determine the percentages of
Khoisan genetic markers?

A couple of genetic tests results I have seen from black South Africans on YouTube are very revealing. The bushman genes were found in the iconic Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela.


Tata Mandela physically looks like a Bushman. Even Thabo Mbeki does look like them also.

This will be a good read for you because it gives a peripheral view of what ancient West Africa was like according to Romans:



This is the more popular expedition albeit they didn’t get to West Africa. The stopped around present day South Sudan (I think). It’s a long article and you can read it here: https://www.thecollector.com/ancient-rome-and-the-search-for-the-source-of-the-nile/

However, this excerpt stood out:


^This was after they passed the splendour and greatness of other black civilisations. These were the creatures they came in contact with.





Interesting. I once read in the past that the Romans reached Lake Chad. Your material gives a good synopsis of those expeditions. Thanks a lot.

Interesting, at least I've learned something today.

But why don't other Nigerian tribes identify as Bantus? And what do they identify as?

Bantu is a more recent name given to the group back in 1857 or so. I can assure you that there would be some striking language and cultural similarities between these groups even after been separated after several hundred of years. The first cultural similarity is pastoralism and cow herding. This is common to most of these cultures.
