Your Aunty was not stupid. She did the right thing for her peace of mind and your uncle getting the househelp pregnant confirmed that she was right all along

A man with self control will always be worth more than a man who can sleep with anything that wears a skirt

NwaAmaikpe:
shocked




Exactly what happened to my stupid aunty.

She packed from her marital home in anger because she suspected her husband was cheating with his secretary at work.

Two months later, her househelp was pregnant with twin boys for him.

Let me also add that neither my stupid aunty nor any of her female kids got anything from him in his will.

Moral of the story is, don't always strive to be politically correct, there are millions who would do better, queueing up to take the spot you give away.

If you know what economists call foreign investment, balance of trade you won't be saying this. Just that you are either a mere graduate, an npower boy or an undergraduate. Anyway you are Nigerian. All the oppression in your country is not a problem but Russia and Ukraine because of your hatred for the west that you always hope to relocate to.
Ask an economist to tell you what Russia is facing right now.

Maybe in your fantasy world.

In the real world, it’s open to everyone how weak the Russian army is. Nearly a month of fighting and still yet to capture a single major Ukrainian city. Thousand of casualties, including 5 generals. Over a thousand vehicles destroyed. A significant amount of helicopters and planes shot down, including top drawer stuff like the SU-34. Poor planning, shoddy logistics and outdated armor tactics.

At the same time, the sanctions levered against Russia are driving the economy off a cliff. They haven’t opened their stock market in two weeks!

Now they’re busy pushing conscripts to the war front and trying hard to bribe foreign mercenaries from Libya and CAR. All the while appealing to China for military aid and trying to force Belarus to join the war.

Nah. They look weak. The aura is gone.


I don't blame your line of reasoning. Nigeria was once colonized so the word "capture" resonates well in your psych as a former victim of colonialism. Russia never set out to capture Ukraine but just to destroy your colonial masters activities in the country. If you think Russia is weak, tell Joe Biden to enter Ukraine as he set out to visit Europe and watch maybe his convoy won't become a legitimate target.

We're just going to be rehashing mainstream media talking points, aren't we?
The West has shut down every news outlet that would allow you to see things from Russia's point of view so that people like you can get excited about Russia's impending collapse.
You will never hear about Russia's cauldron in the city of Mariupol. It's like a noose.
It was the same tactics Russia used in winning the Syrian war.
People are surrendering and leaving the city. That's how cities fall, one after another. No supplies go in or out
They will take the whole of Ukraine, one city at a time but it won't be televised

You are even more ignorant with your last statement, please between the west and Russia who has more in the other’s territory? Do you know the collective value of the multinational cooperations that invested in Russian oil, gas and steel? Over 300 companies pulled out or suspended operations without pulling out their capital and fixed investments as there is an embargo on that. Do you know the collective value worth of over 300 foreign companies? We should be looking at over a trillion dollars. If they choose to swap seizures, the western loses would be colossal.

So many people are clueless about what is really happening.

Right now, if Russia chose to nationalize the assets of those companies that stops doing business in Russia, many of them would find it difficult balance the books for the rest part of the financial year. The amount they will lose is just too huge compared to what Russia would lose.

Those who think Putin/Russia will succumb to pressure from the western world do not know how tough and resolute a typical Russian could be. Stalin refused to leave Leningrad even in the face of almost certain death in the hands of the rampaging Nazi's war machines. Thousands of Nazi Germans and their Finnish allied forces were later buried in Leningrad ! It's unfortunate that Mr Zelensky has naively allowed his beloved Ukraine to be used to fight a proxy war on behalf of the West against such a formidable force as the Russian military. The whole world will eventually BEG Putin to PARDON Ukraine ! That's what will happen eventually..

Oh, you ignorant piglet. Every western outlet talks about Mariupol. Every one. The Ukrainian president talks about it all the time. It’s well known.
It’s a city close to the separatist enclave, where Russia has air superiority (thanks to proximity to AA units in Crimea) and has surrounded it. And yet it’s held for weeks.

So yes, Mariupol will likely fall eventually. But as it stands, Russia still is yet to take any major city. And they’re also going to take significant losses as they advance into street fighting in the city

Putin puppet smiley

Imagine hailing Stalin as a hero for defending his country, yet condemning Zelensky for not surrendering his country to modern day colonials.

I sure say people like you go welcome return to slavery and colonialism.

A sovereign nation is being invaded and civilians killed, but because you have amorous feelings for a tyrant, you want them to surrender and face a complete destruction of their culture and way of life.

Well, the Russians are finding out to their dismay how tough and resolute the Ukrainians can be. War that they thought would be over in a few days, e don last one month and cost the Russians dearly in blood and equipment. And it’ll last for months to come.

Nigerian cowards cannot understand the resilience of Ukrainians, so they condemn it

There are over $488 billion russian money to share for buisness loses for companies who find it difficult to re-enter the russian market. That is why the oligarch are panicking. Other seized money will also go to rebuilding Ukraine if russia pulls out. If they remain no money to manage the annexed region. Or putin can turn ukraine to missile testing ground.

Most comments here are getting something wrong and that is assuming McDonald actually opened over 800 stores in Russia and as such own the stores. McDonald did not open 800 plus stores they gave out franchise to different individuals who opened McDonald stores having met the criteria. What McDonald did was terminate this contracts. McDonald does not own the stores. So the owners are free to continue business under another name.
Lastly it's strange how people assume that Russia produces nothing. If Nigeria with it's comatose economy is producing some products, how much more Russia.
