Please answer these questions - How many countries make up "The west"?

Don't worry. It's a matter of time. Europeans are not Africans who are lazy thinkers grin

I am only upset that Nigeria is not even a player in the global industry to take advantage of this gas wealth.

Whatever happened to our NLNG plants.

If only Nigeria was a working country!
If only our refineries were 100% working....
If only our leaders cared about this nation....

We would have been on our way to becoming a very rich country with our gas reserve.

Putin remains the only president, living or dead, that was able to expel the Rothschild from a country (Russian) CBN. . . .That's saying a lot.

US might just have bitten more they can chew.

Russia needs dollars more than roubles. The west has shut them down from accessing dollars, which means they cant do transaction on an international stage. Putin has admitted Russia economy has been hit so hard, it is a matter of time before the people start serious protest.

Imagine if Naira appreciates but you dont have access to dollars. You wont be able to pay for air ticket, school fees abroad, medical care abroad etc. It only makes sense if Nigeria is self sufficient, sadly no country is self sufficient. So, Russia will suffer so much
Russia don't have any business with dollars again. If UK and any European countries wants to buy gas they will pay with rubble. Now sourcing for rubble begins which will make the currency appreciate

Many countries in Europe will be scampering for alternative source of energy... Russian oil and gas will be abandoned in no distant time. Nigeria is just not yet woken up.

Im sorry your questions are too academic and distracting from the main discourse. Google will become so handy for you

Just explain why you think paying for gas in roubles will help Russia out of this self inflicted problem they are in. Apart from strengthening the roubles to a minimal degrees, it's useless internationally. And that's where their economic pains lie.

Don't mind Putin, we agree they have the highest gas deposit and that is because others have not been discovered and harness, he will be shock to see an alternative to Russia Gas.

It’s not a matter of finding gas, anybody/country can do that. It’s about completion and production. That takes resources including technology, financial and most especially time. Can the EU afford 1 year without Russian gas? The answer is no.

The US is fast tracking their LNG development and shipment to counter Russian competitive advantage in Europe. The question at the end of the day will come to pricing. Can the US compete with Russia based on Logistic pricing? Vessel logistics vs. piping

Countries that transact with Russia will do so with another currency. Either Russian currency or the country's currency.
There are still countries that are not supporting USA till date. A lot of shits happen in the black markets as well.
North Korea has been on sanction for years but still dey shine.

Nigeria don’t consume gas the way we use here in Europe. Gas runs inside the Building like tap water sort of albeit underground. It powers heater for the whole building and hot water for kitchen and bathroom.
It runs 24/7 and you don’t expect loads of tankers queuing up in the gulf sea just to deliver gas to Europe every seconds.

Just listen to yourself. Some of you have absolutely no problem being oppressed. For how long? It's this same kind of thinking you have that Russia is fighting anyways. Who is the west to tell every single person what & what not to do? You have the mentality of a lot of our vision less African leaders.
Think about it, why should you actually sell your own resources in the currency of another country that doesn't own that resource?

If you can't answer mine, then your questions are also too academic. Use Google to understand how getting paid in your own currency helps your economy in a global market.

This war only goes to prove that Russia no be small country imagine say na France uk or wan small country naim Dem dey slap all this sanctions e for don be for dem

Russia economy is in ruins. Putin admits it that sanction has decimated their economy. Focus on what happens after this war is over.Many European countries will wean themselves off Russia oil, more NATO presence in the Eastern flank of eu, sanctions will still remain to destroy the economy,
Russia was the 12th wealthiest nation before the war, I can bet they will pushed down the ladder. If they seek loan in the international market, they will pay very high interest rate because their rating would have been affected when they default on their debt.

Russia has less leverage on the west than the other way round. US is the largest producer of oil in the world, Saudi even comes second.

Putin is a stupid man and it is getting clearer for the world to see.

This might just be the beginning of the fall of the PetrolDollar. Saudi was recently talking about something similar. Higher demand for the rouble will increase the price and shave off some of the effects of the sanctions. More anti-west nations might follow suit.

Seems USA might take a big hit. That statement might as well be a declaration of war on the US. The next few days might be interesting.

There is also talk of Nigeria being the exchange house of the Yuan meaning African nations can buy Yuan to pay for their Chinese imports instead of paying in Dollars.
