you are actually right..the first picture says it all..the twin was trying to position his head with his hand

It might be more than that.. It was the first thing i saw. Health issues

Herdsmen:
Any igbo man from anambra knows this truth .. if being sincere

He’s been push by IPOB

Only fools and cretians will vote IPOB to power
I pity idoma people who are seeing this election as Christians and Muslim thing and belive obi will stop killings in Benue .. when he never stop beheading of assembly members and eating of their flesh in his own state..

God forbid IPOB in aso rock

Some youths are shouting obi.. in igboland not knowing IPOB plans to kill 60% of them and eradicate their parents to take over and control igboland

Already IPOB have order them to bury their dead within three days as to enable their juju .. telling them dia dead for morgue is the reason igbo lies not progressing

Soon they will start killing non compliant.. while igbos cheer them

Nigerians must wake up to Obi deciet

OBi is not a good breeze

And they will always refer to Hausa Fulani and North as precedent .. and will wish to beak their records.. in terrorism

Sapiens with ear should listen


Power to the people
Atiku /Okowa to unify Nigerians and restore peace s

Learn to read and study history.... Take your propaganda to your rabbit hole. Cheap propaganda no go help you... FYI I am not related to igbo in any way. I have lived in the east and west. We do not need bitter politics this is 2022

You think you are addressing reasonable people?

You will be shocked some are worse than the bandits they condemn

The dude though, respect man. I admire his courage

railone:
Let me ask you a simple question. If you have a contract with Dangote Group and for some hypothetical situation, the Dangote Group liquidate and its subsidiaries are now stand alone companies. Can you now hold Dangote cement accountable for a contract you had with Dangote Group of Companies??

Common sense will never prevail when it comes to fostering humanity but when it comes to any that involves war and killing, in there we find the best politicians and scholars of WMD

DoctorOlasDesk:
You and your colleagues are dumb. Tell them I said so. I will retain what i know and he angle I see things from. You can bask in the euphoria of your pseudo-knowledge.

If u get mind show ur true self and I will show you myself and colleagues make we know ourselves well for the real life.. Komot internet and social media... Doctor my foot.. I followed every of your comments and I saw a pattern a pattern of a narcissist... I doubt any woman can cope with you. Self glorifying pric**

GiftedTitty:
You just confirmed my suspicions

He is like a Nigerian senator wen carry Grammer full head. Walk the talk now he say average Nigerian youths are dumb lol. I have shown my colleagues his comments and antics we have been laughing since. Grammer will give you an A in English exam only, let's think about that

Heathrow44:
oga, nigeria is fantastically corrupt, with leaders that are not nationalists divided across religious and tribal lines riddled with pacifist citizens

Did you do the maths?

Emir01:
In 2019, Nigeria made $47 dollars on cride oil sales alone. Share that money among 200 million people and see why we are poor take into account our deficit across all sectors of the economy. The money is small. Go and find out how much small countries like Qatar, Switzerland are making in a year with less than 5 million population.

235 naira bro. Abeg make una leave jeon alone. Pls leave her alone before she drag una to her level

JohnBullMySon:
You have not shown me any legal agreement by NATO. So if Buhari goes and the next president does not follow his policies, does it mean he/she is wrong? There is no legal agreement here.

You are a typical brainwashed bigot. Sorry to use such words on you but your judgment is clouded in bias if Nigeria was Russia we will do worse especially if we have your likes in Power. Putin fit dey trek sef

Appleyard:
Thanks for sharing. I have been looking for these as well. I misplaced the ones I have. Fact is, NATO expansion to the east was a violation of an earlier promise, which constitute a contractual obligations. This continuous expansion is the cause of the current trouble today. The USSR is gone, what's NATO still doing?

Don't mind ignoramus

JohnBullMySon:
There was no agreement. There was a meeting actually but no legal agreement. Putin has long been told to provide the agreement if anything was signed.

The meeting was even with the Soviet Union which has since collapsed.

If you can read pls help yourself

What if Putin went to war with Ukraine (playing his script) to forcefully make the Russian population to stop business with foreign nations so as to boost investment in Russia at large (American sanctions forces foreign capital investment to stall, whereby cutting off Russian citizens from investing in countries the Kremlin deems hostile). Maybe because he knows if he does it directly with his presidential powers the entire country will never agree. Faced with external threats he can control public opinions and tighten his grip, take Nigerian subsidy for example... I was just saying thinking though. Share your opinion guys. Maybe smart politics

safariman:
All of these people (Nigerians) clamming for Russia to take over Ukraine because of perceived American or EU/NATO influence or threat to Russia. Worth noting, Ukraine never attacked Russia, NATO is a defense alliance, don't thread on me otherwise, there will be collective defense.

I would have liked Nigeria to be a developed county like Ukraine under a true democracy, rule of law, attractive development (help youth unemployment), western technology and a strong will to defend her sovereignty and fight like hell like the Ukrainian people are doing. I have read that Ukraine is also very corrupt and perhaps, discriminatory (anti blacks/Indians). But overall and for their interests, they are yearning for freedom from autocracy governments and have chosen their part. If Cameroon or Benin Rep decides to pose a threat to Nigeria, can we should just ask our Army to invade them to restore a government in those capitals that we want?? Afterall, Benin and some part of West African/Northwest African countries were once part of a big empire such as the old Soviet Union or the old Soviet Empire that Putin is trying to restore to its old glory.

Western technology hey? What happened to creating your own technology abi una dey ment?

Wen u are face with unilateral sanctions for not towing the line now na u go complain pass.. Ekpa

Angelfrost:
Don't mind them...

I will never understand why some Africans lose their dignities and sense of reasoning when it comes to anything America!

I find such low self esteem quite disturbing!

Very disturbing.. Some Africans reason like people who suffer from acute low self esteem and highly brainwashed by the highest form of propaganda. Even western education can not save us but make us more dependent on who has the education.. Our mumu no dey end? Isn't it time where we ask ourselves questions?
Why do they hate people who ask they question why?

Russia is a balancing actor internationally including China, remove them and see the true nature of the beast hiding behind "Fighting against the enemies of democracy"
Democracy is not what it seems on the outside, power was never given to the people but a selected few... I thought for myself. I read both sides of the news and my eyes are open.... Mind you I have been following international politics before I left secondary school 2009. It was mainly western news platform.. Check dstv u won't see a Russian news channel or am I mad? Go deep and see the what's really happening... For me I see opportunities for us Africans but as usual black presidents with black sense and black mind only thinking about white currency.. Hope is all we got and then we work towards hope.. Farewell family and Have a fun filled Sunday as usual

The ban on technology exports to Russia, in response to the war in Ukraine, could backfire on global manufacturers of computer processors and semiconductors, as many crucial components for their production are made exclusively in Russia, an industry expert has warned.

“The ban on finished products for Russia will result in a retaliatory ban on the supply of production components and will cause an acute shortage of microprocessors for the whole world. By comparison, the end-of-2021 supply disruption situation will appear relatively light,” Oleg Izumrudov, head of the Consortium of Russian Developers of Data Storage Systems (RosSHD), says.

His statement comes after the world's largest manufacturers of computer processors and semiconductors announced that they will join the sanctions against Russia over its military campaign in Ukraine. A number of technology manufacturers halted product deliveries to Russia, including US majors AMD and Intel, while the world’s largest semiconductor chip producer TSMC stopped the production of Russian Baikal and Elbrus microprocessors at its Taiwanese plant.

While global tech majors are announcing their split from Russia, Izumrudov says potential Russian retaliation moves “would leave almost the entire world without microelectronics.”

According to the expert, Russia accounts for 80% of the market for sapphire substrates – thin plates made of artificial stone, which are used in “every processor in the world,” including those manufactured by AMD and Intel.

The ban on technology exports to Russia, in response to the war in Ukraine, could backfire on global manufacturers of computer processors and semiconductors, as many crucial components for their production are made exclusively in Russia, an industry expert has warned.

“The ban on finished products for Russia will result in a retaliatory ban on the supply of production components and will cause an acute shortage of microprocessors for the whole world. By comparison, the end-of-2021 supply disruption situation will appear relatively light,” Oleg Izumrudov, head of the Consortium of Russian Developers of Data Storage Systems (RosSHD), says.

“Our position is even stronger in special chip etching chemistry using ultra-pure components. Russia accounts for 100% of the world's supply of various rare earth elements used for these purposes,” the expert states.

According to him, Russian components for manufacturing semiconductors would be almost impossible to replace.

“Talking about sanctions against Russian microelectronics is impossible without talking about global microelectronics… It will not be possible to abruptly replace [Russia] with a resource of alternative substrate production locations, and there is no way to replace rare earths from Russia,” Izumrudov states.

He says the timeframe to ensure the quality of sapphire substrates, required for microchips, for instance, is 30 years of continuous production. Plants at which they can be made have to be located in conditions of almost zero seismic activity, which means the products of enterprises similar to those in Russia in seismically active California or Taiwan “are noticeably inferior in quality and volume to the level required in the industry.”

According to Izumrudov, even in the worst-case scenario, where Western states succeed in cutting Russia off from its existing tech partners, Russia has a number of “just in case” options to reorient the industry. The first option is to work with mainland China-based Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) and its AMEC factory. It is inferior to TSMC, but “this is temporary,” Izumrudov says.

In addition to China, he adds, India could be “a partner with huge potential in IT in general and microelectronics in particular.”

“The country is interested in entering the global market [and] it has all the necessary basic elements, especially human resources, for this. It is enough to pay attention to the number of Indians in top management of IT giants and start-ups, including in the field of microelectronics,” the expert explains, calling the possibility of Russia’s tech interaction with India “very promising.”

According to Izumrudov, a third option also exists, and it lies in the creation of new technologies within Russia.

“In addition to purely geographical solutions to the problem, there is also a way to create a completely new technological approach to the production of semiconductors,” he states. Izumrudov suggests replacing silicon in semiconductors with gallium arsenide, a material used in infrared optics and microelectronics, which would allow the creation of 3D chip architectures instead of the currently used 2D wafer printing. The production of such solutions has been established in the Russian city of Perm for the needs of the Ministry of Defense, the expert says, adding that the technology has potential for civilian application and research on it is already being carried out.

Sweeping sanctions will spur “double-digit inflation” and crash the economy



Economist explains how ban on Russian oil and gas would affect Germany
Sweeping sanctions will spur “double-digit inflation” and crash the economy
Economist explains how ban on Russian oil and gas would affect Germany
Economist Daniel Stelter has warned that a possible boycott of Russian oil and gas in response to its offensive against Ukraine will badly hit Germany.

“Freezing Russian assets was a smart move. Nevertheless, not much has changed. Russia remains autonomous and still has revenue from oil and gas exports,” the founder of podcast Beyond the Obvious told Focus magazine on Sunday. “The bottom line is that there are now two options of what’s going to happen: the bad one and the very bad one.”

The first scenario is stagflation, rising prices amid a stagnating economy, Stelter argued, adding that sanctions and continued warfare will cause “a massive problem” for the food industry. “Russia and Ukraine account for around 25% of wheat exports, Ukraine accounts for around 90% of sunflower exports. Corn and barley also come from there in significant quantities,” the economist said.

Stelter pointed to the bread price hikes during the Arab Spring, the anti-government protests and riots in the Middle East in the early 2010s. “We must be careful that it doesn’t happen again. Because one thing is clear: a farmer in Ukraine has no time to cultivate his field if he must fight Russia at the same time.”

“Gas, coal and food prices will rise significantly. It worries me,” the economist said. The worst-case scenario will be a global boycott of Russian oil and gas, Stelter revealed.

“We’ll have a double-digit inflation rate, and our economy will collapse massively,” he argued.

Lol... poor lady. She had to video herself to save her job.

I wouldn't attribute this to racism though (I didn't watch the whole video). Caregivers go through a lot. Taking care of the elderly is like taking care of babies except that you're less likely to be annoyed by a baby and aged people are more likely to be depressed if spoken to in a certain way. Caregivers are, therefore, expected to find thier patient's soft spot and win them over. It's a job that requires emotions/personality. It's not those kind of jobs where you say "let me just do my stuff and go home". You must be really involved. You laugh when they laugh, play when they want, take sharp objects away from them using tricks, have endless boring chats with them if necessary, apologize for almost everything, etc. The job requires patience and understanding, and they're meant to understand this before starting.

You didn't watch the video...? Wow marvelous

Originalsly:
What action has Russia taken in this situation that is wrong. Name one ... from whatever angle you look at it. Back up your statement. Is there any wrong done by the US?

Ignorance should be your surname...

mach7:
If the treaty being mentioned here is the "Budapest Memorandum" then Ukraine didn't fulfil its obligations as claimed in your post.

Ukraine joining NATO was a violation of that treaty as the Busapest memorandum implied that their borders will be respected in return for them giving up Soviet nukes on their territory and staying neutral.

Now Ukraine, after toppling its elected government in 2014 with the support of the West now proposes to join NATO. So the Russians should fold their arms right?

Maybe you should study the Cuban Missile Crisis and the history of Ukraine to gain more insights.

That dude u quoted, should go learn history first bruv... Children too full here.. CNN and BBC Kids

WhatCanIsay:
From which angle you look at it, Russia is wrong in their actions.

You signed a treaty with Ukraine, you went ahead to default by taking over Crimea after Ukraine has fulfilled their obligations in the treaty.

That one no do you, today you want to invade the same country that has not posed any direct threat to you.

Funny enough some Nigerians support the idea simply because what their mind can only process is Russia vs America.

You know nothing about history.... Go and study more and stop bending to colonial will just because you have been westernized(Brainwashed)....

They all fear Russia the country their globalist cannot control.... In life there should always be a balancing act.. Russia vs America vs china.

The absence of it will only lead to a one sided affair... Eg Israel and Palestine... You know nothing and you wreak of ignorance.. I'd like to tutor you for free.... It's your type when asked where would you like to travel to, your first response will be Amellika or Yondon......

Lindalilian:
I just don't know where to start from, I've used infection drug as prescribed and given by the pharmacy I patronised.

It started out as a spot, it was seriously itching and spreading, I took the drugs I can't remember I think it's sivofloxacin or sivoflocin, in infection drug.

After a while it was asive it was begining to dry, but the scars are still there. Just yesterday it started to itch me again, and now rapidly spreading it comes red, after itching it turns black and then spread to other side.

Has anyone experienced this ?? How did you tackle it, do I need to go herbal or just go to hospital, please what is the name.

Please I need more response on this, thanks.

This is probably scabies a very stubborn mite that causes lots of discomfort especially at night and rest time the itching intensifies. Pls quickly use Benzoyl benzoate solution to treat it is the fastest and cheapest no waste your resources for hospital dem go diagnose you Taya yet no level. This thing almost made me hate women back in my uni days. I know how you feel man. Pls cut all your nails that's how it spreads quickly and moves also try to leave some of your clothes for fives days without wearing them. The mites cannot survive without a human host.. Be smart. If na scabies just happy you will be free in no time with that solution....

Mind you it itches the most when the solution is working.. Follow directions on the solution...

daddytime:
Hmmm...

I can relate to what it feels like with your daughter and the fear of losing her.

But not to worry, even if you and your wife eventually go your separate ways which I will advise you to consider because your wife obviously isnt supposed to be your wife. She is an enemy or someone else's supposed wife who won't hesitate to bring you down before exiting your life eventually.

Oga, no worries or fears of the unknown. Find your way from this conundrum ASAP and even you would marvel at how easy you'd navigate through.

Wishing you the best on your next moves.
