Sanction, sanctioneer, sanctionest.....Putin putting mouth for things wey big pass am. I guess he's regretting his invasion of Ukraine now but too proud to back down. He was begging China to come and help, beg Asad of Syria even begged Turkey but was turned down flat. His sanctions wouldn't even wake a sleeping goat. Who cares about Putin's sanctions....?

It's like Buhari saying nigerians should appreciate him for the great things he has done.

Chimaokigwe:
No one goes to Russia before. They are merely fooling themselves.

IhateYouMan:
Who wants to go to Russia ?? LMAO

Do you know the difference?

Do you see the pictures of Ukraine and just imagine that Russia is far better.

Maybe you are Russia phobic.

When a comparison with another country is not based on equality, then you deserve to be fvckd at any point in time.

I love you Putin but this will be a weak meaningless sanction (tho I know it is fake news) because like she rightly said, " they have no reason to visit or save in Russia ".

Well it's all our forefathers fault, for allowing a country grow so much wings such that it can brag about stuffs like this because the world depends on her currency.

Kimjongun:
Why are Nigerians shamelessly pro-west in everything despite these same people treating us like trash

Look. If even the Chinese or Russians are the ones in charge of global affairs like the US, France and UK, they would have despitefully treated us too.

For instance, just look at how Chinese businessmen treat their Nigerian workers IN NIGERIA.

So it's just a case of "the devil you know, is better than the angel you don't know."

So this is like president Buhari saying nigerians should be grateful for the great things he has done who dey go russia normally You know see russian allies?? Belarus, Syria, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, are these ones allies or alaye's russia will go back to 1917

America has been the world's biggest economy since 1841. That's more than 140 years ago.
Please cut our forefathers some slack though.

CHIGIM:
MY OWN IS THAT RUSSIA DID NOT COLONIZE ANY AFRICAN COUNTRY, SO FOR ME I LOVE THEM MORE THAN ALL THIS EVIL WEST

Because they didn't have the chance and ambition.
As UK, France, Spain and Portugal were the big boys then.
Not even US.

They are all racists.

pol23:
I support Russia…
But truth be told ,This sanction is weak.
The only thing Russia can do that will affect everyone is to detached itself from International Space station unannounced (because Musk don say he fit power am,maybe lie or true, but that man is a genius)
And I know Russia can do that if push to the limit and that will be catastrophic.
Well let’s see where his oil sanctions effect go reach first.

In addition, Putin should 'un-plug the hose' sending gas to Europe. This would be more effective

The US think Moscow is Iran.

Acidosis:


All propaganda. There's a difference between calling for help and considering volunteers.

Russia has over 1 million active soldiers and over 2 million reserves. Note, Nigeria has less than 250k (total).

You think Putin will send even 50k of his men to Ukraine? Funny.

Why are you comparing Nigerian soldiers? Is Nigeria a country?

Some of the funny responses up there though ! Does anyone think Putin was expecting any of those sanctioned American officials in his country ? The crux of this sanction is to drive home a point and that's - Russia is not backing down in its mission in Ukraine. If any country is ready to take on the entire Europe,including the United States,it is Russia !

Putin has been preparing for a time like this immediately he took over from Gorbachev in 1991 shortly after the disintegration of the former Union of Soviets Socialist Republic (USSR). As a seasoned secret service agent,he was aware of the threats against the security of Russia and that's why Russia will never tolerate a nuclear weapon in its backyard or doorstep in the name of NATO or any such organization. The case of Ukraine is specifically different from other Baltic nations within that region that are already members of NATO because there are ethnic Russians in Ukraine. There exists a permanent mutual suspicion between Russia and NATO/US and Putin can't really be blamed for the steps he has taken to protect his country and ethnic Russians. Must Ukraine be a NATO member ? Is the membership worth the level of destructions and deaths that have engulfed the country since the Russia's invasion began ? I don't think so !

Trust me, Russia will attack any country that dares to interfere militarily in its "special military operations" in Ukraine. Mariupol and other beautiful cities of Ukraine have been so badly hit by the Russian military that they have become so unrecognisable ! How about so many people that have lost their lives and those that are still living in fear and under the shadow of deaths ? That must stop and arming Ukraine and threat of more sanctions isn't the way to stop it. Ukrainians are dying in their hundreds while their cities are equally being destroyed. It can only be wicked people that will keep urging them on to fight a war they can never win !

Foolish Putin, what do the US president wants to do in Russia

Funny

This is like Ajegunle beer parlour owner banning the Pope from his establishment.

IhateYouMan:
Who wants to go to Russia ?? LMAO

I wouldn't mind

Jeromejnr:


Most of you don't understand international relations, its effect and how it can affect trade economy.

All these is silently shifting economic power to China.

A new world order of things. As allies are formed and strengthened, Don't be surprised in a while if Yuan becomes stronger as the new reserve currency.

Article below was before the war...this war will only expedite it.

Until then, for now the US Dollar is both the trade currency and the reserve currency. Russia sanctions have zero effect

Kimjongun:

blame ur leaders first

At least it's far better than the shit hole of a country called Nigeria

SeeThisLoser:
Russia is a shit hole

bluefilm:
1 - 1

Game on

Two can play that game !!!

That Hunter Biden and his Ukranian business associates are never up to some good.

it was 1-0 against Russia before but now it is
2-0 against them. They are really getting trapped in the pit of NATO and esp that of America. Those who the gods wants to kill are first made MAD. Naira by the middle of the year will be stronger than the Roubles.

The damage has being done and it will take stepping on a lot of toes to correct this wrong.
It isn't impossible btw

Russia that their passport is useless

Russia imposes sanctions on Biden, Blinken and others
Laughable….A sign of frustration and desperation.
The downfall of Putin is near!

oz4real83:
Joke of the century. This "Russian sanction" have zero effect on the people mentioned.

This shows that america is wick ,if they are the police of the world ,they try russia

Putin is a joker so he thought he has power anyone can't challenge

Watch out for cyber attacks - but also western sanctions do not seem to stop any of these guys from their stuff. Imagine Iran was under sanctions for so long and yet managed to develop a formidable homegrown military industries, think North Korea - been sanctioned for like 50years. Russia na baba when it comes to circumventing sanctions.

anonimi:


Unlike us Nigerians and blacks who are happy to be eternal beggars and lazy youths

So true. If world war 3 start. Blacks don't even know which side to follow. Africans are like robots played like video games.

Just like Nigeria banning Biden from entering Nigeria. Wetin concern agbero with overload?

rickpat:
the sanctioned is now sanctioning!!!!.. amazing

That is what is diplomatic reciprocity in international relations.

What's this one saying?

Somebody wrote a useless article and you are ignorantly and sentimentally holding it. The British pound remains the strongest currency but cannot be a reserve tender why? Go and find out why the dollar remains like this.
