which ground op??
your one of those that thought Putin will take down Ukraine in 3 days, OP we are in the 4th week not 3 days, Ukraine have proven they are strong..

minus fighter jets causing damages, and killing civilians, Ukraine will chase Russians out of their land. that's why they have been asking west to impose that as they do but can't.



Zelensky was a lot more ambiguous than that. He said
'NATO is not prepared to accept Ukraine.' This carefully
tosses the ball back into NATO's court. It's not the same as
have agreed to Putin's demand that Ukraine will not seek
NATO membership.
WHATS SO HARD IN THAT STATEMENT TO UNDERSTAND?
UKRAINE IS A PEACEFUL NATION, THAT DOESN'T WANT
TO BE CONTROLLED BY SOMEONE LIKE RUSSIA.

After this invasion, Putin will never think about invasion in his generation.

He's finished and his country. those artillery he lost, were is he gonna get them spare parts? is it China lol... the west owns everything. so shut down and observe



You only read without understanding..





Op. who told you Ukraine fired missiles into Russia, when they are only defending? lol.. nothing op of your kind won't compose and drop here to please your fellow op

This is one of the people pushing zelensky. Even when the owner of the war is surrendering he's still beating his chest for him. Very pathetic lots.

MangekyoAlt:
Now that Russian troops have started gaining grounds in ukraine, he now wants to talk with Putin on the matter putin has been trying to discuss with him about for long now.
Putin has said Ukraine will NOT join NATO under no circumstances, whether they or NATO, or the devil likes it or not.
Yet he no listen. He thought Russia wouldn't protect their own security interests because US threatened them with colossal sanctions.
Now he don clear for his eyes say if he no sit down talk this matter with Putin, few weeks from now Ukraine will not be recognizable again by anyone. Russians aren't even too using their airforce and naval firepower against Ukraine. They're saving all those for a competent enemy. So far, na missiles and artilleries them dey use level Ukrainian infrastructure and military bases. Meanwhile, the same cannot be said for Russia. All Ukrainian Tochka missiles that have been fired into Russian mainland have all been intercepted by S-400. So Russia, is yet to be touched

It is the useless hypocrites that have been pushing him including the ones here on nairaland that thinks anything western is right and good. We have been shouting for over 4 weeks that this man should humble himself and understand that who pass u pass u. Call for negotiation and stop further destruction of your country but he was proving stubborn and shouting on social media that they are winning the war. How can you be winning a war that's taking place on your soil? Even the foolish ones here on nairaland said the most stupid thing that Ukraine is winning a war against Russia the second most powerful military in the world.
Now that he's seen Russia is not going back and Noone is coming to his aid him eyes don clear na.

Mrsoft3:
The media has deceived a lot of people, and the gullible ones are being made to die for nothing. If Ukraine was winning the war as stipulated by the media why is the president looking for peace this quick..

How gullible people believed Ukraine would be winning a war against Russia should be a course in foolishness to be studied in school. A war happening in ukranian soil would always be a one sided affair unless NATO is involved and those ones are only fooling Ukraine along for their selfish benefits.

Oga, Ronaldo has won ucl with 2 different clubs.

Ronaldo has qualified Portugal before in 2013.

Ronaldo has won trophies for Portugal, so you have no hold.

Your response is watery because it's exactly what you are trolling messi for. He has won the champions league before and scored hatricks before too so not doing it now does not undermine him. One would think your focus is on what the players are doing now and not what they have done in the past so stay in one lane if you want to troll.

The judge is deceiving himself. The 1999 constitution guarantees freedom of association of everyone in the country, where there's a clash between the constitution and any law the constitution is Supreme hence this judgment is a kangaroo judgment.

Both are South African companies anyway. South Africa has 51% controlling share of Stanbic IBTC bank

It depends on what the person want and career path chosen.

Stanbic is not like the typical Nigerian bank. They promote every year if you do well and pay annual end of year bonuses.

Career path should be the main thing here. what does he prefer?

Stanbic does not promote every year pls. Where did u get your information from? No matter how well u perform promotion is after two years for junior staff and after 3 years for middle management.

I really don't understand what women want. How can you be clamoring for special seats in parties and compulsory allocation of seats in national assembly and yet be asking for equality. The mere fact that you want a special place is discrimination against women, there should be a level playing field and women should compete there as well.
There are as much women as men in this country and the women should channel their energy to mobilize themselves to vote for themselves why bothering the national assembly to be giving u preferential treatment in elections. I suspect this is being sponsored by some top women who wants to benefit through special seat allocation for women and don't want much competition.

Kingcalls:
Do u even have a problem with comprehension?? The op said not in recent years but at their peaks ... someone scores 65 freekicks and all u can say is that its a YouTube video... did he score those type of freekicks the op talked about multiple times or dint he?? All these children that just started watching football... when ronaldo was at his peak playing freekicks... I used to bet b4 he took them and out of the 16 I bet , I won 14 . U must have been playing with tire at that time and watching cartoon

Even though I'm very sure u are not enough to lace my boots I will stick to the argument. This is the list of the top 10 freekick takers of all time and your Ronaldo is not even in the top 10 despite all the audio bettings you took within your short years on earth. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.givemesport.com/1768008-juninho-ronaldinho-beckham-who-is-the-best-freekick-taker-of-all-time/Amp.

Kingcalls:
And how many freekicks did Ronaldinho score?? Watch that video and educate urself and stop being ignorant

Why must he watch the video to validate your point? If he brings out his own fav videos too will you watch? Pls embrace your own opinion while he embraces his. It's folly to regard Ronaldo as the best free kick taker simply because of some dumb YouTube videos when statistics on ground does not validate same and he's only scored two out of many trials in 3 years.

All Nuclear Powers should also chanel all their Nukes towards Russia on the ready. Enough of this idiots chenanigans.
Operation wipe out RUSSIA.
NONSENSE!!!

Las Las both the weak and the strong will die. Abeg let's press reset to this world wey things no balance sef.

ruggedtimi:
Na there Putin power end... nuclearhead. Man just showed he is a coward.

How is a coward? All is fair in war and you use all the weapons in your arsenal. The US and Co that have been fighting other nations dirtily with economic sanctions and drones all these while are not cowards abi?

mike8804:
Thought you guys were wining the war! War is not politics which you can win with social media propaganda.
Russia is the only country that cannot be conquered, they help to end both first and second world war. A country with about 11 timeline zones!

Note:
After Germany has pounds the hell out of great Britain and her allies, the west couldn't defeat Germany (a country not has big as northern Nigeria) only when the red army came, the war was won. Napoleon and Hitler made the mistake of attacking Russia.

President Putin said and I quote " if the world doesn't want to live with Russia, then the world doesn't deserve to live without Russia"

A lot of people don't know their history and I am constantly irritated with the way they have demonized Russia and Putin in this war. Russia suffered the highest cost from world War 2 not even the Germany that started the war suffered as much as Russia. The irony is that its because of Russia that Hitler was defeated.
After the world War, Russia alone lost 27million people and her economy was in shreds. They picked up the peices and hoped to start rebuilding their economy and it's then the west they helped to win the war backstabbed them by forming NATO with the US and they were excluded due to their communist ideology.
Infact the Germany that Russia helped conquer in the war was admitted as a NATO member alongside others and as events started unfolding over the years, NATO started expanding her territories to Eastern Europe by coercing countries like Poland, Latvia, Bulgaria and lithuania etc to become NATO members to spite and surround Russia with NATO/US forces. Seeing all this, Russia knows the last knight to be taken would be her sister Nation Ukraine and agreement was reached with the previous president that Ukraine must never become a NATO member but this president is insisting on going that same route.
Now Russia's reason for the war is simple "don't bring my enemy to my doorstep further" hence there would be consequences but the comedian would not listen. If you are in Russia shoes what would you have them do when all negotiations have failed and there was a written agreement to this effect in the past.

santopelele:
This is the best reaction ever. Russia will not smell this coming world cup

It's walk over for Russia then. Fifa has always maintained football should never be mixed with intl politics.

Guyman02:
You guys are shamefully ignorant, Russia has VETO POWER and any resolution either of the 5 countries with veto power says 'NO' (USA, France, Britain, China and Russia) ultimately fails and can't pass.

What America can do now is to take the matter to the General Assembly where majority will carry the vote and it's just a formality as no action can be taken based on it because there's a veto already.

Are you not aware that majority of the people here don't know anything but will argue out of ignorance. A simple Google of the word veto would have shown the dumb guy what it means. Just like when a president uses his veto power to overrule the legislators is what Russia has done here. Even if 1 million members vote yes that one vote from Russia has overruled their decision. That is the power of having a veto and even the US used the same power when they invaded Iraq cos majority of the UN security council voted No then.

kponkedenge:
A power hungry tyranny that has nothing to offer Russians other than trying to steal lands and expand his country.

No difference between Putin and Kim Jong Un.

All the unrest in Crimea, Donbass, Donetsk and Luhansk region were all ochestrated by Putin, funding separatist to cause commotion and use that as a reason for fake "peace keeping" just to expand his country.

Yes its true Putin is funding separatist but is it not the same strategy America is using all over the world and you support them? They funded separatists in Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan etc and you did not complain so why is it a crime now that another country is doing same.

Esseite:
The price of crude is about to skyrocket, the Nigerian Govt better take full advantage of it.

Which kain yeye advantage. Don't you know Nigeria is the only country in the world that's its crude oil does benefit her and its both a blessing and a curse. When price is down we are in trouble and no FX, when the price is up we are also in trouble as we will be paying more heavily on subsidy.
When you talk of a failed nation Nigeria should be a case study.

All hail Putin. I love his idealogy of leadership and he's constantly proving me right that it is always better for a leader to be feared than to be loved. Leaders that were loved like Roosevelt, Lincoln all fell Las Las but the feared ones like Hitler, Kim and Putin will always recreate history.

assholemods:
What is going to change? You better stop deceiving yourself.. even God is tired of Nigeria.

Exactly my thoughts too, the truth is nothing would change even if an angel becomes Nigerian president at this point without a drastic change in our constitution. The Nigerian structure is designed to fail at this point and not just about a change in President hence why successive governments end up competing for failure.

I started as a contact staff marketer of 40k per month in sterling bank as at 2012....but now I earn more than 1m per month....so take it and challenge ur self

Same story here. I started as a contract staff earning the exact 50k monthly in 2019, today I receive almost 1.5m monthly.

Sammydanny:
A chaotic scene ensued after a married man tried asking a lady out while posing as a single man during an Instagram live session.

As the conversation got steamy, the lady the man was trying to ask out got a request from a woman who wanted to join the conversation.

The woman who joined the conversation claimed to be a family friend who knew the man and insisted that he was a married man. She warned the lady to be careful as the man is reportedly married and has a son.

The man denied the allegations, insisted he's single and further dared the woman to bring his wife on to prove that he's indeed married to her.

In few seconds, the wife of the man joined the conversation and started hurling insults at the man. She showed the face of the son they have together and also warned the lady.

This left the lady he was trying to ask out stunned.

Watch the video below:

Some men are just stupid. Why lie to a lady that you are not married when you are? Many ladies will even prefer to date you once you are married sef. It's only a lowlife man that would lie about his marital status to bed a woman with the stream of babes on ig willing to Bleep anybody for money.

ifiokjohn:
Lol Ronaldo go shock all of una badbelle soon.
Should a striker be proud if he is not scoring?
So Ronaldo should dance and be merry when he is not scoring? Or as make united isn't doing well?

Ronaldo is stingy yet in his 3 years in Juve he had the highest assists in the club?

Nigga also had highest assissts in his time in Madrid.

Ronaldo is not stingy. He is just a competitor who like to keep going higher. It not wrong to aim for the highest.

Both Cuadrado and Dybala had more assists than Ronaldo's 15 assist in Juve whilst he was there. As for Madrid I'm sure Benzema, modric or kroos would have more assists than Ronaldo whilst in Madrid.

The moment it's penalties just give it to Egypt straight.

Please I'm interested, is it still available?

Allow Malawi to be doing initial GRA GRA first until the referee checks the VAR screen and sends two of their players off with a dubious red card. The script of this nations cup has been written already jare.

efficiencie:
May God help you ohh. Sometimes I wonder how and why couples who were ecstatic a couple of years or weeks ago about marriage, go through the hurdles of multiple weddings and enjoy night after night of marital consummation but yet turn out to be the worst of enemies of each other later. It's amazing and mind boggling.

Nowadays when I see couples happy during their wedding day I just feel indifferent because I can guess that 2 years down the line they will start regretting that they ever met.

Pastors and clergymen that join couples in holy matrimony need to thoroughly question intending couples about their motives, hidden fantasies and desires, ambitions, beliefs, philosophies, secrets and other factors hidden at the time of wedding that could destroy the marriage. I believe divorces are rooted in or caused by matters of the past and that most couples get so carried away by the chemistry and prospects of a married life that they forget to settle the core matters that could lead to a divorce.

OP! You may need counsel from others that have experienced divorce!

It is because marriage has outlived its usefulness in the modern day society and we are not ready to face the reality. I am in a marriage already and it's less than a year old and I can tell you it's a scam. I don't see us doing a second year anniversary in this sham we call marriage. Let me give you an analysis, before marriage I a single happening guy and full of life, I had several women at my beck and call and I had a cleaner to clean my flat weekly, someone that cooks for me and deliver it to my doorstep and that's excluding the several women willing to do same function without any cost, I had someone that comes to wash my clothes every weekend and I was also able to save a considerable chunk of my 7 figure monthly pay. I have gotten married now and that situation remains unchanged except that of course I no longer have access to other women and a major part of my finance is going into taking care of another human being in the name of a wife while she's constantly saving her own money or spending it on frivolities.
Now tell me why I won't feel shortchanged and scammed in this union of fantasy called marriage that has taken everything away from me but given me nothing. The very least I should be getting is a woman to cook for me but all those basic domestic issues are still being outsourced to vendors as it was before I got married hence the woman had added no single value to my life but has taken away so much from me.
This is the very reason men are running from marriage now and if I want to advise any single man out there I'd tell him to stay away. The union called marriage is no longer relevant in today's world since women have started forming feminism and we will keep seeing more divorces once people realize they have been scammed into it by the society.

CrystalBliss:
Did you read the basis of the argument? Does going out and coming in of a place determine a private or public ownership?

Places owned by government are secured by security personel who are paid by government. Privately owned places are secured by security personel who are paid by individual or corporate owners

Your place is an open place co-owned by a group of people and not government. It's a private place. How can you be so dumb?

I'm sure your father would be regretting giving birth to such a slow poke as a son since when you started displaying this daftness. How can any sane human being call this my street that I am looking at a private place. The street road is built by the government, the drainage and street light done by the government.
And a fully grown adult is arguing that because we employed one old man and gave him uniform to man the gate the street has automatically become a private place/estate. I honestly cannot engage in argument with this kind of shallow thinker.

Daboomb:
You really need to go to School, Mr. Man, stop embarassing yourself publicly, like Mr. CP
You dont understand the context of the use of the word "Private"!

Contracting "Private Security" to assist in securing a place like a Stadium is different calling a place like an agglomeration of Houses a "Private Estate".
One is a Verb, while the other is a Noun.

That is my contribution to your Free Education!

You have said nothing but rubbish in big Grammer. What do you mean by contracting "private security". Whether it's in a stadium or in your so called "private estate" are both security men there not contracted?

CrystalBliss:
The situation is a simple situation. If the estate is a public property, it wouldn't even need a private security. There's a private security only because it's a private property. The CP erred.

This should serve as the most stupid comment in this post. How can someone apply a logic that says once there's a private security somewhere then it's a private place. In my street at cement we have a security man and I know my street is far from private as anybody can come in and go out. The same thing with most streets in Lagos with gate men.

bigpicture001:
My girlfriend whom I have planned to settle down with simply started acting cold and eventually stylishly slide out of our relationship because I sat her down and made a family financial support proposal to her in which she will be financially committed to running the proposed family we intend to raise...

These are the proposal...

1. She earns about 80k wile I earn about 300k.. I asked that we jointly contribute for all the children's Career funding starting from when we get married even before any of their birth.. I proposed 10k monthly from her and 40k from me to a trust account. From it we plan to fund all the children's Career from kiddagatten to varsity or which ever path they choose..

2. That sh choose between Nepa bill or DStv or gotv sub monthly..just one for her

3. I will be responsible for rents

4. We pay into another joint account for vacation once in two years..like sh puts in 20k I put in 50k monthly..

5. I provide all the heavy food stuffs required in the house in large quantities including gas ND change of electronics, but sh provide all the daily food supplements to mk mine complete.

6. She buys her clothes ND I buy mine but we can both surprise ourselfs with gift to the other..

7. I will buy the family car ND maintain it. If she buys no p.

8. I didn't rule out surprise gifts once a while and outting which I bankroll ND expect her to do same occasionally..

Plz oo nairalanders are these responsibilities to a wife too much for her, I mean one who works and earn over 50k...?

The things we learn from nairaland is topnotch and has saved a lot of people from disaster. If only God has allowed me to see this post three months ago it would have saved me from the disaster I married in my house right now cos I would have known her person before I married her. I would have tabled this before her and avoid stories that touch.
She's never contributed 1kobo to the home but spends her salaries on human hair and makeup and when asked would say am I not the man of the house.
She even have the effontery to be demanding monthly allowance from me despite earning good monthly salaries.
Please God has blessed you with wisdom and don't fall for the scam called marriage by women these days. You have done well with your template and a good woman would accept you with this.

nedekid:
But stars in the US make more that that yearly. Burna, davido, wizkid are on that level oh. I don't think that earning power is below them.
How much do you think wema bank would have paid him for endorsement? That will make them add a brand new land cruiser worth over 80m to sweetten the deal? Puma nko, there is no way they will endorse a start like davido for less than a couple of million dollars.
Seems we under estimate these young boys oh.
I was shocked when I saw them honour David during superbowl in the US. They payed his music on the stadium screen and focused the camera in him in the crowd.
Like play like play, these boys are big boys.

Don't mind that one let him be yearning dusts. Naija A list artists like Davido and wizkid are already on American star levels. The Martell you see him drinking everywhere do you know how much they would have paid him for the endorsement deal? It will be nothing less than $m.

kamez:
Total balance in my 3 accounts should be just over 61 million naira...

Nairalanders abeg make una join hand pray for me ooooo...my only new year resolution for the past 4yrs is to find a wife and get married..every single year i end up failing to fulfil it...

This year is even worse because im ending the year without a girlfriend not to talk of wife...

One minute I'm all interested in a woman, and I start up a relationship, and the next minute, I loose interest and walk away

Trust me I've been there and I totally understand you bro. It took God's intervention for me to marry too at almost 40years old.
When you are a young bachelor and money is not a problem as in your case it's difficult to find a good woman and stick with her because you start seeing women as a commodity you can buy with your money at your beck and call.
I was worth almost 100m before I got married and at a time I changed gf every month and the old ones would refuse to leave even when being maltreated. Thank God for the gift of a kind woman God has given me as a wife now Sha as I really maltreated her but against all odds she stood by me and today we are married.

zedegit:
Is this necessary? Very irrelevant comment.


Sole reason is companionship. Child bearing is Jara.

Besides they can adopt.

While I'm not supportive of shaming a couple without a child for same as it's only God that gives children. I want to correct this stupid notion that marriage for a man is for companionship.
If you are a man out there no that the sole reason you need to get married is for procreation otherwise if you get into marriage for any other reason sorry would be your name. I have been married and I can tell you marriage would add nothing to you but bitterness and sorrow. Infact you would have better companionship when you are single than when you get married by the time your wife starts showing you her true sef.
Don't be fooled that marriage would give you any companionship when in actual fact everything about marriage is designed to favor a woman except of course the bearing of offspring to bear your name as a man.
