PayPal shuts down it's services in Russia. Whether someone uses UnionPay, visa, MasterCard, AMEX, that person is still not making that transaction aslong as it originates from Russia

Nice. There’s still going to be another type of Facebook, Search Engine(s) that will compete with Google, other great things will come up that wouldn’t be from the USA. And it’s going to be global and very competitive with their predecessors.

Maybe it’s going to be from Nigeria, who knows smiley cos I know Nigerians and plenty of African Countries have lots of talent that are yet to be discovered. Power Will Change Hands. Peace.
Eg TikTok vs YouTube

China is the ultimate winner of this way, China already won.
Not Russia, not Ukraine, nor the West but the Chinese without firing a single shot.
Those guys are smart... very smart. But I don't see how UnionPay will work on other platform like amazon.com if they decide to reject it? lol

Absolutely. The US and EU will just succeed in pushing Russia further towards China and that may lead to more problems for them in the long term. I think they should intead negotiate with Russia and offer them guarantees in exchange for the end of hostilities.
BS. China already are buddies with Russia. Ok? But the friendship won't yield much at least on the short term.

How many places accept Union pay. In addition a lot of systems and integrations needs to be changed/worked on. Na today work? Many corporations in Russia would rather downscale and wait a little bit
Necessity is the mother of invention.
I'd rather go for what's slow but certain than for what's fast but yet uncertain.
And what do you mean by how many places accept Union pay grin
Don't assume, read about Union pay first!

Putin is a stupid man that can not be reasoned with. He thinks he is the saviour that will restore some sort of USSR. He has only succeeded in ostracising Russians from the rest of the world.

Shipping what? Its all about logistics! Is Nigeria not importing fuel? Its all about logistics. Common, this is 2022.

Food stuff make it from Africa to Canada. Pipeline option is also on the table.

And you making look like rocket science.

Bros, I no wan yab you. So you are saying a pipeline should be built to transfer LNG from Canada to Europe. Even Natural gas sef cannot be done using such means...

Insought, your "madness" is legendary.

Fyi...LNG is transported using ships.

Nope. China is the future that's just the unfortunate truth.

And soon if we Africans are not careful they will recolonise us albeit economically.

It's already happening like in countries like Zambia

Paypal is a money transfer platform and not a card settlement platform. Nothing concerns the usability of Unionpay with Paypal

Russia does not hold monopoly of energy.

Canada and Nigeria are good examples of country that can power Europe. stop sounding like Russia is the only country in the world with LNG

At what cost? You think the cost of supplying Nigerian or Canadian gas to Europe is cheap? The question is not about whether there is gas or oil elsewhere but at what cost. Simple economics.

True, but sometimes freedom and less dependent on others comes at a cost.

We Nigerians should learn to be independent on ourselves rathar than depending on other countries, we import more and export less

these people are ignorant, let me give them an example. Russian airlines that operate Boeing and Airbus airplanes as their main fleet, need spare parts to maintain thier fleet, with these sanctions, who will sell it to them? So how is Russia not dependent on the US?

It's not about total country that matters but how popular it is in those countries. To the best of my knowledge, Visa and MasterCard also reign supreme in Nigeria.
Its not my fault that you couldn't comprehend wat u read from the report..kindly read it again.

Over 180 countries I know. But how many merchants have it added to their payment checkout. How many international websites/platforms have it alongside MasterCard, Visa, Amex, Discover etc. How many do you know of so I can run a verification. Using Nigeria and west African countries as a case study, how many banks are issuing the card as physical or virtual cards?

Donald Trump flooded the market with American oil, and oil prices plummeted. Joe Biden is the one causing this whole thing.
