Truckpusher: JudgIng from the commentarIes of some fellow nIgerIans that I'll rather classIfy as a waste to the nIgerIan society I can categorically say that Nigerians are very pathetic people and we are our own worst enemy.If Nigeria refuses to release those criminal sailors the heavens will not fall and Russia will do no jack, the least they can do is to cut bilateral relation with Nigeria and I'm dead sure that no country in the west will risk that kind of economic suicide for some few fuvcking sailors when their economy is in shambles.

But it's so alarming that some peeps thinks that Nigeria is country that can just be slapped around by any world power just because of some unimportant sailors and don't forget that we've got friends that are strong too who wouldn't let anybody come into their farmland to destroy their crops.Somebody was even talking abt drones , honestly I think it's high time people begin take IQ test before joining NL-READ MY LIPS RUSSIA IS JUST BARKING THEY CAN'T BITE AT LEAST NOT WITH THIS ISSUE...mtcheww

We have so many illitrates on Nl and the few educated ones know little about inter-states relations.The westphalia treaty sets out the relations among states based on sovereignity while the treaty of utretcht sets out the balance of power among them.what we forget to realise is that Nigeria and Russia are both sovereigb states irrespective of their size,population,economic or military might.
Russia only has more power than Nigeria because it is a veto-wielding nation of the united nations and one of the five that can independently start a war.Now let's look at it,what has Nigeria done to warrant an attack ? The russia would only strain relations with Nigeria and nothing will happen.The US has threatened to cut off aids to Nigeria if it eventually banned homosexuality but Nigeria still maintained her stand and nothing happened.If Nigeria jailed the Russian,the government of Russia will only come and dialogue with Nigeria,possibly bribing for their release.

P.s
The united states of America paid the sanction imposed on Di*ck Cheney former vice president of the UD for his complicity in the haliburton case to the Nigerian government and heaven didn't fall.

Excellent post my brother. What the clowns on NL fail to realise is that we've done way worse, yet the world hasn't ended. Read up on the history of your country's foreign policy. You think the Federal Republic of Nigeria is some ordinary country you can push over? We openly opposed the Americans and UNITA in Angola and provided weapons covertly to ZANU-PF in their fight against the then British supported Rhodesian govt. We also vehemently opposed the Americans again during the 2nd Gulf War. Did the Earth end on all three counts. Yet some fools think that we'll be punished by the Russians for arresting a bunch of criminals. What the hell are they going to do? Send Alpha/vympel or other spetnaz unit to break out a bunch of criminals? Impose sanctions? Abegi..

why is it that libya had to release those bulgarian nurses that infected babies wit HIV? The fact that the powerful sergei lavrov is involved in this saga is a cause for great concern. Do u think cos of ur useless numbers u can witstand a blitzkreig? Chechnya was far mor determined but how did it end up:a russian puppet. It may nt result in all out war but a few punitive expeditions could prove very costly 4 naija. Ignore russia at ur own peril. They r d only reason d west has nt put down syria's Assad.

CFCfan: The Nigerian government should also demand the release of Nigerians in Russian jails in exchange for the Russian sailors.
If the Russians reject this request, then GEJ should allow the Law to take its course.

prince0: Any student in the house who read International Relations knows that 'what sovereignty make equal power makes unequal' there is no need labouring this issue, int'l relations students know Nigeria will release them.

Okija_juju: I said it...... And thats how the matter was ressolved...



Power pass Power... 3rd world nation vs. G-8 member nation.. HOW!!!







OYA NA!!! RUSSIA said unto Nigeria:: Let my people go now, or.....

So it's military now. No wahala. First of all, we both agree that Russia is a world power and an energy super power.

But here's a few questions:
-Do you really think the Russians will be so stupid to lunch a military campaign against Nigeria over a bunch of criminals?

-Let's say they intend to launch military campaign, how do they intend to project that military power down to west africa? Please do tell.

-The German blitz of WW2 involved the use of Panzer groups to punch through Europe. Let's say the Russian intend to adopt such tactics, were do they intend to use as a staging ground/base? Benin, a friendly country in a regional bloc dominated by Nigeria, and one with French protection? Cameroun, Chad, or Niger, French satellites?

jerseyboy: A weak and poorly governed nation like Nigeria must comply to the Russian threat.

dulphines:
Russia: Release them or...
Nigeria: or what
Russia: We will er-razze Nigeria from planet Earth.
Nigeria: Person no dey joke with una again?

Not without the russians making any concession.the issue here is if Nigeria has anything to lose in case of a diplomatic row with russia but I'm still wonder why people are thinking that russia will attack Nigeria.

Have you also wondered why the lockerbie bomber was released to Ghadaffi by the british ? You know why,libya got the oil and the british needed the oil,so they sort of swap the guy for oil and military contracts and that is how things get done in the international system since no nation is self-sufficent.Syria,iran and other hardline countries have alliance or some sort of treaties with Russia in case of any attack on them,which is why an attack on syria or iran could disrupt world peace.Besides,russia is only withholding her vote with china against possible military intervention in syria.so kini big deal
