Means this one doesn’t even know Gowon Estate. A plot of land in that estate doesn’t sell less than 60m.
So does a plot of land in okokomaiko or Idi Oro in Mushin

Doesn't mean it is desirable. Just regular Lagos slum.

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.
In how many years? We are talking about Europe surviving the next 5 years. Even if they discover Gas in Europe, it will take at least 5 years to develop the infrastructure need to extract it and set up the pipe lines and supply chain.

But heck, they will still need Russia for the metals as Russia controls about 80% of steel and Iron.

Worlds highest oil exporter and you say "a lot of people" don't know her currency. Anyway this is entirely your opinion, that you do not know does not justify the use of "a lot".
In 2018 , Russia hosted the FIFA WC... Almost 800,000,000 fans visited the country and you say " a lot".
I don't blame you for condemning this motive by Russia, I blame your ancestors, our ancestors who have worshiped the dollar since time immemorial and now almost everything revolves around the dollar.
This war is an eye opener for the world, it's full of potentials for the smart nations. Russia is opening a part to a new world direction. If the 50% of the dollar is boycotted, trust me ... You will be a big boy in that Nigeria.
This is a test phase, if Russia accepts rubble for payment then why can't Nigeria, why can't Iran, Saudi Arabia.
This will bend the crown that has being g sitting on the west for too long.
Change is highly welcome because the direction the world is headed is doom

My point is, the countries that needs Russian gas will stress to get rubles.

Oga think... it's not like you going to filling station and buying 4 liters to use for your generator.

making deal with Qatar... No mean say Qatar go send them gas tomorrow.

Infrastructure needs to be built... Which will take years.
Na Europe we dey talk about not Africa. Even while the going was good, they made arrangement for a day like this.

The mistake you are making is you think America has become weak and most of the world thinks so too, no, the reason America has this stance is because Biden is a pacifist. That man does not get emotional and starts a war. He is very tactical and result oriented without putting human lives in danger especially American citizens.

The best thing to do now is wait, you could be right, I could be right, we could also be wrong. Make we observe.

See the picture, the red dots are LNG ships. Russia is giving USA market it had all to itself before. Just watch how USA ramps up production to make Russian gas useless. The worst part is after this fiasco is over, Europe will not return to Russia for gas.

Qatar has other countries they are supplying to na. They already said it that they can't make up for the total shortfall from Russian gas that the EU wants them to cover. Netherlands has gas but it's not the same quality as that from Russia. That's Russia has the largest supply in Europe.

My brother , please share the link here where Qatar said they can't cover for the shortfall. Please lets be objective, I'm waiting, remember we are all learning here.

This strategy will cause the Ruble to appreciate and ensure stability of the russia economy. As Germany, and other EU nations will have to source for Ruble to pay for gas.

Trading in Ruble has always been the desire of Putin and russia.

The reason why the US attack Iraq, Libya, Syrie etc was because they wanted to abandon the use of dollar for trade.

Looooooollllllzzzzzzz, even Iran has more natural gas reserve that Qatar that has 12.5% compared to Russia 24%. Has you even thought of transportation cost. There's pipeline already laid from Russia to other other countries with little or no risk of transportation compared to shipping with vessels from Qatar to EU.

Oga sir Putin's got them by the balls

Obviously you don't know what you're talking about, Germany is the market, Russia are even the one constructing Nord stream 2 themselves... In my earlier response , I said both countries will feel the impact, but Russia will feel more. What Berlin signed with Qatar is a LONG TERM supply, pipe can be constructed. Qatar and Russia are more or less the same distance to Germany (won't go deeply into that)....

He is not the sole supplier of gas.

Russia is the world's leading exporter of gas, exporting 197.2 billion cubic meters of pipeline gas in 2020, and 40.4 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas (LNG). As at 29th Jul 2021.

She has three gas pipelines directly connected to Europe supplying gas to them.

Nord Stream as its called, is a set of offshore natural gas pipelines in Europe, running under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany.
Russia sends gas to Europe through several main pipelines - such as Nord Stream 1, Yamal-Europe and Brotherhood. The gas is collected in regional storage hubs, and then distributed it across the continent.

Russia also supplies a significant volume of fossil fuels to other European countries. In 2021 it was the largest exporter of oil and natural gas to the European Union, and 40% of gas consumed in the EU came from Russia. In 2017, energy products accounted for around 60% of the EU's total imports from Russia.

There you have it bro. Russia is not ya mate!

This is the absolute truth. Gas development is not easy. It takes time for production. Can the EU afford time for development and production?

I understand we are heading into the summer, which will reduce the demand for natural gas in Europe. Reason why EU can flex muscles a bit

But Winter is not far behind. Russia will have the upper hand

Oga, Ruble will become useless!

There's limited dollars inside Russia as we speak, it means all nigerians in Russia coming to Nigeria will need to use all their saving(Ruble) to buy cars or electronics and ship to Nigeria before they can get their money back... Because they can't come to Nigeria with dollars or Ruble... Can you imagine that?

You are missing the point. Imagine if roubles appreciate but Russia needs more dollars in their reserve to do many things which they are lacking now. It makes no sense.

International transactions are settled in dollars. Let me tell you if you don't know, when you have million of naira in your account and you pay for your air flight using your bank card. The payment is honoured because the airline knows that Nigeria has enough dollars in her reserve to settle on your behalf through the CBN. If you are a billionaire in Nigeria and there is little or no money (USD) in the country reserves, attempt to pay for flight, education abroad and anything foreign, your payment will be declined because you can't settle your bills in naira, it's CBN that must settle on your behalf in dollars from the reserve.

Russia is hurting badly, lack of access to dollars is a serious game changer

Hurting how? Stop displaying ignorance in public, Russia is not Nigeria or the UK, they produce most of their consumables, they rely on European countries for luxury items and china for other items, they have an agreement in place with China to do a Yuan/Ruble trade. The petrodollar empire is crashing, traders will tell you not to touch the USD now as its performing very poorly while the rubles have been doing great since last week
