I felt the chills reading this. Imagine living in a place that is 70degrees below zero. No need for a fridge and everything turns to solid ice. I have watched a documentary about Omyakon. Its like living in another planet. You can barely stay outside for 30mins at a stretch without turning to Olumo ice rock.

16. Russia has eleven timezone.

17. The longest domestic flight is within Russia. You can literally fly for straight eight hours on air, and you're still in Russia. Meanwhile, it takes about 6 hours to fly from London to Lagos. The country is freaking huge. A size of roughly 18 Nigeria but will less population.

18. Russia is the largest country on earth. Its a transcontinental nation that shares borders with the US in North America, to Scandinavia with Norway and Finland, to South East Asia with North Korea and China, to Europe proper with Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and many more.

19. The whole of North Asia is in Russia, also known as Siberia.

20. Russia (alongside China) are the only country that when it coughs, the US listens.

21. Russia is one of the few countries that can implement something known as "autarky" (self-sufficient). They can literally shut off their country from the outside world, and still exist somehow.

22. Russia is the most sanctioned country on earth, in the history of sanctions, but still stands. Thats autarky my friend. Currently, over five thousand sanctions are actively placed on Russia.

23. Russia is a country of many nations. There are twenty two republics in Russia with their own constitutions, army, Police, and full autonomy, except in areas like currency, foreign policy and similar.

24. Russia's defeat of Hitler in world world two led to the end of second world War. They paid the heaviest price for freedom, by loosing an estimated twenty million men to free Europe from nazi Germany. Because of this sad history, there are more women than men in Russia.

25. Russia is a country with the cheapest land. The government can give you land as big as the whole of Lagos, if you can invest and know what to do with it. They have so much land, they don't know what to do with it.

26. The US state of Alaksa used to be Russian (Alaskiya), but was sold to the Americans in 1867, Alaska is the only reason why the US has a seat in the Arctic Forum, one of US best purchases and perhaps, Russia's biggest regret after the fall of soviet union. Alaska is bigger than Nigeria.

This is so tempting, going to confirm this from my Ruskies friends. If true, na to start farming for Russia and poultry grin.

No wonder USA is afraid to enter Russia again. From my view, whether you agree or not, USA will never fight a direct war with Russia not even with its allies. The best form is sanctions,but sanctions are not working, Russian currency keep rising. It will be sucide for America to go to war with Russia. That will be the end of USA but not Russia. Russia has more forest,lands,water and ice to absorb radiation. USA not really. I respect Russia and their government if they survive and manage all these thousands of sanctions against them. Sanctioning Russia the whole world look for alternatives. Russia is indeed a mother. Nigerian leaders since 1960 still alive deserves to be jailed or killed.

Russia ain't perfect, but other countries that are placing sanctions on them ain't Saint either.

I wonder how people though it would be possible to isolated a huge country like Russia, Now they are paying the price with hike in fuel and food prices.

So because they are big ..they should be left alone to misbehave Being big is not by size alone.is also by being responsible.a country that destroy and almost ruin is neighbor is not a responsible country

Where will you move your choco arse too, Nigeria or Belarus or your dream country Russia tongue

That will be good though. You won't be missed. Just another Nigerian returning to Africa with an expired visa grin, and there are 50 million Nigerians on the queue waiting to replace you. Just ensure you don't let the door hit your choco behind on your way out grin

Some Nigerians like the doctor in Texas below would have wished they moved earlier, or the other thousands of Nigerians excelling in God's own country cool

The world is shifting to multilateralism and that means America is gone? I'm curious, which country would you advise the person to go to today to directly benefit from this multilateralism?

People are in the US not because it's called the world power but because of what they can gain at the individual level. So if you consider the US gone, where would you advise him to go to? Have you experienced the US market in any way? Do you know why the country is called the land of opportunities?

Please, let's not mislead people on this platform out of sentiment. If things will change, they haven't yet. The US is not gone and it will take decades for that statement to ever be true.
