Iraq Invasion = 309,000 US Troops + 45,000 UK Troops + 2000 Australian Troops + 200 Polish Special Forces.

Ukraine Invasion = Only 150,000 Russian Troops. No wonder the west is terrified of Russia

God Bless Russia.

Slava Rossii! Z Z Z
As if Nigeria army haven't been dancing celebrating victory over boko haram for 10 years now.
It's been over two months now that Russia is struggling to defeat a neighboring small nation military.
The US traveled halfway around the world to invade and occupy an Iraqi military that at the time has the 4th largest army in the world. The US did it twice. 1st time in about 1.5 month, the second in 3 weeks.
If there's one thing we've learnt in the past 2 months, it's that the Russian army is not as strong as we thought

Why is he so quick to come out with defense most caretaker and landlord in Lagos Island are only concern about the money they collect,.. even the regulatory body are all guity of these act. you gave them notice and you failed to enforce it big lie..if you watch the live converage ,you will notice most of the men interview by punch news are government officials who rush their for cover up.. the guys interview before the caretaker are government official [cbd,lasma]and others...if you stay around island ,you know with money you do anything and go free... the government officials are fantastically corrupt
It's obvious you don't own a home and have tenant in Nigeria. If your tenants refuse to leave and you go report to the police, you will have to charge them to court at that point, it can take about two years for court to rule for the police to forcefully get them out.
The Nigeria law is not nice to landlords.
Except if you want to call thugs to get them out forcefully which is against the law.

The fools were capping crap. "Europe will boycott Russia", "Russia will only be able to sell to poor India and China"... grin

I was just looking at the muntulas. Even at the heat of the sanction, some EU countries were still doing backdoor deals on Russian oil.

When we tell these western puppets here that Putin knows how to play this game than sleepy joe and his lap dogs like Boris Johnson and Macron they say we are over rating Putin.

Abio...

How hard is basic English to understand.

The article sef is self explanatory.


They found a way to pay for gas without violating their own sanctions.

Violating sanctions means paying for Russian gas with rubbles so to avoid violating their sanctions, they pay Russian Bank in Euro and Dollars. Converting the payment into rubbles is Russia's business, not EU business.


It's like me paying you for goods sold and you gave me your bank details to pay into with my Naira but you converted the Naira payment into rubbles and still want to claim that you were paid in rubbles when in fact the payment done in Naira.


You have to be mentally dubious and delusional to claim otherwise.

Even Russia won't say they are being paid in rubbles, just they ignorant people on NL and olodo Nigerian youths.
The title of the article is what is causing problem for the Lazy readers.
The content of the article is almost opposite of the title.

What is this man's records with regards to leadership, human resources and capital management?

His only pedigree is being the brother of a billionaire.

His billionaire brother never entrusted him to manage any of his companies successfully but look at him fronting this illiterate dunce to manage the resources of a whole state.

In the senate that he is, is there any single bill that we can point to that he successfully promulgated and sponsored?

Are the citizens cursed or the cause?
I couldn't

But they supply almost half the gas that the EU consume, most importantly, Germany. Germany is heavily dependent on natural gas from Russia for power after it was forced to shut down its nuclear power plants due to opposition to them from its citizens, after the Japanese earthquake in 2011.
Is like you don't know western europe don't have many people there to use much oil. For example Germany only uses 2.4 million barrel a day. Compared to the US using 19 million barrel a day.
Whichever way, Russia is only selling oil on discount now.

You keep making one mistake that those western countries are an island and i won't blame you for that,that is what they have ingrained into peoples head.
For evey thing the West export Russia has equivalent of that.
Were you told that Americans import Russian gold and Diamond in commercial quantity?

You talk of Communication,who laid the foundation of communication? is it not Russia through their Satellite called Sputnik 1?
The largest Cargo plane uptil date was a Soviet union effort.
I am not trying to tell you who is the best,but my point is that Trade is beneficial to all parties,the west shouldn't make it look as if Russia will cease to exist if they don't patronize them.
For your information,India just ordered 3million barrel of oil from Russia 4 days ago and payment will be in roubles.
What is Russia equivalent of the automobiles that the west exports?
Russia created the biggest cargo plane but there not even close to boeing and airbus who exports and sells the most passenger airplane and cargo plane and have 83% of all planes used in the world today.
You said Russia laid foundation for communication/satellite. Is Russia making money for laying foundation?lol. Russia is only third in amount of their Satellite in space 169, compare to China's 499 and the US 2900 satellites. Again, they are not even close.
3 millions barrel of oil ordered by India is small in the scheme of things of world economy. Don't forget India got heavy discount on the oil, it's a sign of desperation when you start selling your own goods on discount.

Bros, are you okay in the head. How does the fact that Venezuela also produces oil make Nigeria any less of a major oil producer?
But if Venezuela are major exporters of other things that Nigeria don't. Venezuela will have bigger economy than Nigeria. It's just common sense, not rocket science
Venezuela economy will even be bigger if Nigeria exports only 17% total world oil and Venezuela exports 14%. 3% difference is small in the scheme of things

You sound retrogressive in your thought.

1. Your list is full of tech companies that are US owned, but not necessarily producing their services in the US.

2. How many of those companies you listed do you use their products, and the are relevant to Nigeria for you to be calling them everyday products.

Apple- you mean second hand iPhone Nigerians buys from computer village or how many Nigerians spend close to N1million to buy overpriced Ipad tablets that are actually made in China?

Microsoft- we all use free Russian prorated Microsoft softwares from Windows to MS word. Ever heard of the Lavteam?

Tesla- you must be kidding right. Everyday items that male US economy big.

Visa- I hope you know its the branding and server network our banks pay for, and those servers are not likely in US. All the chops and cards are made in China.

Samsung- A US company? Really. If they where, you won't be using them so much. It's a South Korean company and most of their products are made in China.
I am talking about industries Russia has almost zero market share. Any industry Russia has big share, others have nearly as big.

Reality will always win.
If you like, lie to urself that the sky is purple. Your eyes will always tell you the truth.
Every industry Russia export to Nigeria for example. The West is export just as much. But there are other things the west exports that Russia don't even export at all

Your question is just a fallacy of argument, hiding behind demand for precise data.
I just told you that half of all the bread you eat in Nigeria are from Rusiia, you start arguing that the other half comes from US. How is that relevant to Russian Production?

I will give you the numbers you want if you can supply same numbers for your own consumptions from US. How much of your income do you spend on goods from US and not China, for you to be here arguing about how texas economy is bigger than Russia? The bitter truth is that the US has so depressed your currency that you can hardly afford anything produced with their local labour, but you wakeup here shouting about the size of their economy. Next time, specify if its the real economy or the virtual currency valued economy.
You are wrong. Russia only export 17% of total world wheat export.
US has 14%
Canada has 14%
France has 10%
Ukraine has 8%
Etc.
Anything Russia does highest, many other countries like US are close.
You know what we have things Russia has zero market share
Phones - Russia 0%
Textile - 0%
Cars -0%
Airplane- almost 0%
Telecommunications- almost zero
Techs like Google, Social media companies, etc - Russia almost 0%

Your everyday bread and semolina that you eat comes from Russia wheat.
Your iron you use in building comes from Russia,
Frozen fish, especially your Titus Abi na Mackerel,
Your refined petroleum you buy to power your generator.
Fertilizer for your farmers.and just in case you need data about Russia trade partners and the amount involved here is a link for you.

https://tradingeconomics.com/russia/exports-by-country
Bros. Yes Russia export those things but this other big countries like US, China, Japan Germany also have big market share into industry e.g Russia export 37million tonnes of wheat per year, but the US and Canada each exports 26 million tonnes per year. Other countries are not far behind. Weapon? US, China, France, UK have just as big export.
Every Commodities Russia exports, other big countries have big market share too.
Problem is there are lots of industries that Russia have have almost to none market share.
Google
Social companies
Textile
Automobile
Telecommunications
Airplane-- boeing/airbus
And many more that Russia has zero or almost zero market share
Foreign AffairsRe: Putin Wants Rubles For Russian Gas by 5thcolm(m): 11:20pm On Mar 23, 2022
Russia economy apologists should know that the richest companies in the world are those that produces everyday life commodities and services.
E.g
Apple
Google/alphabet
Microsoft
Amazon
Tesla
Facebook
Nvidia
Visa
Samsung
Etc.
None of this companies are Russian company.
Also, the top richest people are not into oil, they are into everyday commodities/services that people use around the world.
Countries that produces everyday commodities/services are the richest in the world.
Back to my question.
What do you use in your everyday life that is Russia made?
What percentage of your money goes to Russia made commodities?

For your information, Europe don't make anything again,China,India,Koreans and Bangladesh makes for the rest of the world.

What do you use in your everyday life that is Russia made?
