2. Introduced the use of Presidential Executive Order which has been useful in establishing several Government Policies.

At the bolded, are you honestly mistaking or deliberately misleading? What happen to the Russian-Belarusian land border? Or is Belarus no longer a European country? It takes just 8 hours 36 minutes to drive from Russia to Belarus. How about that? Or am I the one mistaking?
Belarus is bordered by Ukraine, Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. Any trans-border travel from Russia through Belarus cannot proceed to the rest of Europe except through the aforementioned countries.

LOL countries of combined landmass of less than 500,000 km2 "completely isolating" a country of 17 million Km2.

Lol who was your geography teacher?

Russia is a continent. She is even bigger than the whole of Europe. Like almost times two
Isn't it ironic that it is you that should be asked who was your geography teacher?

Russia is largely bordered by several seas and apart from Ukraine, those countries (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) are the major gateway to Europe by land for Russia and Belarus. The circuitous and alternative routes through Finland or Georgia by land to get to Europe is clearly going to be torture.

I have attached a map for you to see clearly into the issue and know the true impact of the closure of the borders of those countries on Russia's connectiion to Europe by land.

There is no Power Holding Company of Nigeria again, since 2013 when the FG divested interest and broke it into several units like IKEDC, IBEDC, etc. I believe Egbin power station should be under the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

Politics › Re: 2023: Osinbajo, Not FEC, Stood Down Amaechi’s Security Memo - New Telegraph by Babinski:
Blackblackbeaut:
So, the vice-president had no other place to hide than to ask: what brand? Now, ask yourself, of what relevance is that in the equation? None! The minister had brought many memos including the ones that approved the purchase of coaches and nobody asked for the brand. So, why ask for brand in this instance?
Assuming the statement is not misinformation, was Amaechi able to answer the question? Brand is very important in some cases, particularly for surveillance equipment from an inexperienced company. Brand could be used for price check, for project capacity assessment, etc. Not being able to answer that simple question is a big red flag. You may say some questions are stupid simple, but if you cannot answer them then it speaks volumes about you!

AbujaCitiBlog:
What is wrong with a pilot scheme if it can save lives? If the project was carried out on time, some people would have been alive today.

Ok, since your godfather Osinbanjo refused to approve, did he offer any better alternative?

Amaechi is a digital leader. Read up his achievements as Governor of Rivers State and you will truly start to cherish this man.
A Pilot scheme without any guarantees to work as expected, costing N 3.7 billion and awarded to a 2-year old company without any relevant experience? Does it make any administrative sense to approve such a project? Who told you lives would have been saved when the project already came without guarantees to work as expected? A project without clarity and explanations as to workability? Didn't you read what the leaked memo said or you are just a paid blind supporter of Amaechi?

Amaechi had opportunities to go and sort out the issues raised and re-present but he chose to be quiet because he knew he just wanted to play on the intelligence of the FEC. And playing on the intelligence of Buhari is what he finally did.

Since you are an avid supporter of Ameachi and his phantom digital project expected to save lives, can you please explain here how it is expected to work? Would it have stopped bombs and IEDs from being set on the train tracks? How would it be powered across miles of rail tracks without consistent electricity supply and guard against vandalism?

Osinbajo was the one chairing the meeting, that's why it went the way it did. If it was President Buhari chairing the meeting it would have been approved by now.

All that leaked Memo bullshit is coming out from the Osinbajo camp to save face. If truly there were issues, why then did President Buhari Order immediate implementation after the blast and kidnap?

We know Osinbajo and Tinubu are very scared of the rising profile of Rt Hon Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi and they are really worried he is growing in leaps and bounds! Na una go shame Las Las.
The observations raised by Osinbajo and the FEC on Amaechi's request are all valid. To worsen the case Amaechi said the N 3.7 billion was for a pilot to see if it works and then later extend acroas the country. So he already has a way out if the money ended up being a waste which is clearly the intention going by the engagement of a 2 year old company without requisite experience in the area.

The speedy approval by Buhari in the wake of the disaster that happened without clarifying issues already raised shows an impulsive and shallow Chief Executive who is just looking for a quick fix to show he is doing something.

Finally, Amaechi's statement is manipulative and insincere, aimed to take advantage of the situation without necessarily solving any problem but his own apparent pecuniary benefits from his annointed contractor. God help us if someone like that becomes President!
Politics › Re: Sanwo-Olu Launches Lagos Ride Taxi Scheme, Lists Features by Babinski: 8:04am On Mar 24, 2022
Rollsnjaguar:
Is a good development
This is not vision. Lagos roads are already chocked and one of the State Government's vision should be how to reduce the cars on the road with a metro or mass transit system.

Furthermore, having drivers purchase a N9million car to repay N12million in 4 years isn't empowerment. If you give them soft loans of N 9 million for viable business, how many of them will do Taxi Hailing? Even for those who will do Taxi Hailing, how many will choose to buy a N9 million brand new car for the purpose?

Now they will create competition for average Joes trying to make ends meet in the Uber or Taxify business with Tokunbo cars because if they charge around the same, people would prefer to ride the brand new cars. Unfortunately, the brand new cars won't last and the scheme would be unsustainable. The end game result is that everyone loses except those who enjoyed riding in the cars!

The society is a bit better when people like Iyamu are locked away behind bars. Just ike in cases of drugs, the law is more concerned with punishing traffickers than users or victims because traffickers are in it for business and when they are taken out, the drug circulation is heavily reduced. So good riddance to Iyamu.

JaroMan:
Nawaa ooooo. This is not to be swept under the carpet. Osibanjo is an RCCG member. I'm one too but if these points are true, then he has to be excused because it's a dangerous sign.
Farooq Kperogi is in the academia albeit not a scientist. But he as well understands that evidence builds up conclusions for the conclusions to be credible. His writeup on Osinbajo is littered with some many conclusions and very thin on evidence that it makes a mockery of his intelligence. It is laughable how he tries to portray hearsay as supporting evidence of faulty and erroneous conclusions.

What evidence really is there that Osinbajo is a religious bigot? From all Kperogi wrote, none. We have various evidence Pantami is or was a religious bigot through his utterances on Jihad and Al-Qaeda and others which are well documented. We have evidence Buhari is or was a religious bigot through his previous uterrances on Jihad and Boko Haram that are well recorded. Do we have similar evidence for Osinbajo? No!

Kperogi should just go and sit down on this. He goofed big time.

If you do a thorough analysis of the situation and other related factors, you would see that Russia losses in all scenarios. What led to the collapse of the Soviet Union was not any firing of guns, it was economics. As it stands now, whatever seeming victory Russia is able to eke out of negotiations in the invasion of Ukraine is only Pyrrhic; the economic losses are very difficult to reverse and may lead eventually to the collapse of Putin's regime in Russia.

The Russian oligarchs as well as a lot of fellow Russians have nothing to gain from the invasion of Ukraine and yet have suffered severe losses. They are not happy with Putin and he very well knows that. And they are not just a few people that share that mindset in Russia.
Celebrities › Sylvester Oromoni Was Not Injured Playing Football by Babinski(op): 10:34am On Mar 16, 2022
A witness and nurse from Dowen College has told the Coroner that the late Sylvester Oromoni wasn't injured while playing football. This clearly contradicts the story from the school and now begs the question: If he wasn't injured playing football, how did the injury and wound that resulted in sepsis come about?

There is really more to this story than what is being presented in the media.

The Lagos Coroner heard yesterday that the late Sylvester Oromoni jnr was not injured while playing football.

Rather, the deceased was said to have developed muscle pull when he wanted to pick his bible that fell from the bed.

A house parent of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, Nurse Omobola Kayode stated this while giving evidence before the coroner, Magistrate Mikhail Kadiri set up to unravel the cause of death of 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni jnr.

The nurse who obtained a BSc in Nursing in Ukraine said:”After massaging the deceased’s right thigh with deep heat, I administered paracetamol. So he slept in the sick bay before he went back to his room. He had attended class in the morning.”

She said she did a follow-up on him at the hostel and stayed in the female hostel.

“I went to the hostel to tell the house master after the second time I rubbed his thigh with deep heat,” she said.

The witness said there was improvement after the massage and he went back to the hostel unassisted.

“The first time I applied the deep heat, and continued with it in the evening. The second day, on Tuesday, I met the deceased in the sick bay lying down. I don’t know if his health was deteriorated when I met him sleeping,” she said.

People who have sympathy for wolves in sheep's clothing that have been uncovered are not lovers of the sheep but wolves themselves. What Jesus said to Peter in John 21 is that if you truly love me, keep my sheep, feed my lamb and feed my sheep. For those of you supporting and sympathizing with the wolves that are eating the sheep and have been caught, it is better you repent before your condemnation comes. God is no respecter of persons!

The Palestinians are just trouble makers. The Temple Mount belongs to the Jews just like the entire Jerusalem within which is situated the Temple Mount, belong to the Jews. It is the holiest site of Judaism. King Solomon built the First Temple at the Temple Mount area in 957 BC. That is roughly 1,500 years before the advent of Islam and Muhammad's claimed vision of riding a steed to heaven overnight at the site of the Temple Mount!

It wasn't until the 7th century which was well after the death of Muhammad that Umar the 2nd Rashidun Caliph built what was to become the Al-Aqsa mosque at the Temple Mount and it was regarded as the third holiest site in Islam. This was made possible by the Muslim Conquest of the Levant.

Based on this little history it is clear who the usurpers and troublemaker are. A site that has belonged to someone for over 1,000 years. You now take it over and want to ban them from it. How funny.

Stop quoting nonsensical false figures you pulled up online. America spent roughly 20 years in Afghanistan and they spent just about 825 billion dollars. This is America whose weapons and tech always cost thrice that of its Russian equivalent..

Wherever you got your figure of Russia spending 20 billion dollars daily needs to be shoved up your ass.
I have helped you get the correct cost of the Afghanistan War and it is over US$2 Trillion at US$300 million per day. You can check the sources below. The United States economy was not bleeding from sanctions as a result of the Afghan War.

Since despite the availability of the internet you still misrepresented the cost of the Afghanistan War, much cannot be said of your perception of the current cost of the Ukraine Invasion. Suffice to say, the sources below put it at over US$20 bilion per day and those are not just military costs. The Russian economy has been bleeding from sanctions since the invasion began and Russian companies lost an estimated US$70 billion in the first few days of the invasion.

You need to educate yourself first before commenting on issues even if this is a faceless forum.

Putin entering into Kyiv is winning one battle and not the war. It is one thing to invade a country. It is another to keep the country subdued.

The cost of invading Ukraine for just the past few days have created a very heavy toll on the Russian economy with the cost of war estimated at US$20 billion in daily losses to Russia. To continue bleeding money trying to keep over 40 million Ukrainians subdued is a worthless exercise economically. The end result in the short or long run is that Russia will leave Ukraine just like Americans left Afghanistan and Vietnam. How long Russia is easy to keep destorying its economy and wasting money on their stupid war in Ukraine is anybody's guess but there is no winning for them in this misadventure.

Where Russians have been making hard-fought gains
Although Russia has not captured major cities in recent days, its invasion is far from stalled. Russian forces continue to make gains, pushing into smaller cities and encircling larger ones. Troops have been nearing Kyiv, the capital, and also closing in on key cities in the South and the Northeast.

Melitopol Mayor Abducted by Russian Forces, Ukraine Says
12 March 2022, 00:30

Senior Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of abducting the Mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, from an administrative building in the center of the city on Friday, March 11.

Security video released by the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Kirill Timoshenko, appears to show soldiers exiting the Melitopol City Registry Office with a person in custody.

Fedorov had continued to operate the city council despite the arrival of Russian forces and posted regular updates on social media about the situation in the city. On Monday, March 7, after helping organize humanitarian deliveries to the city, Fedorov was awarded the Order of Courage by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The title of your post is misleading and erroneous. Russia has not been able to conclusively conquer and capture any major Ukrainian city till date. It is very clear to all that the invasion of Ukraine isn't going according to plan and has been quite frustrating for the Russians and Putin in particular.

The entire Chechnya forces supplied by Kadyrov to aid the Russians have been eliminated with their tanks and more than 10,000 Russian Soldiers killed.

Yes. Ukraine is under attack and bombings but the Russian economy is now in tatters with the Ukrainian invasion costing Russia more than US$20 billion per day!

This week alone Putin has sacked some of his Generals and put the Heads of Intelligence under house arrest. Those are not the actions of someone who is winning.

This was exactly what I told my friend before this war started!

Ukraine should have ignored the West with their fake and false promises and obeyed Russia from the beginning. If they had done that, this ungodly war would have been averted!!!

Now see, houses have been destroyed, investments lost, countless people have turned into refugees including Nigerians who thought they had escaped.

I still hope the war ends really soon.
Ukraine should have obeyed Russia? They should sell their sovereignty just like Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage so that Russia can pat them on the head and not invade them?

Do you know that Yanukovych, the Ukraine President who was Pro-Russia was removed by the Ukrainians in 2014 for rejecting a pending EU association agreement and choosing instead to pursue a Russian loan bailout and closer ties with Russia? The revolution in which Yanucovych was removed is known as the Revolution of Dignity.

If someone says he would want to be sleeping with your wife under your roof or else he would fight you, would you agree to obey him for the sake of peace?

Russia is losing at least US$20 billion daily prosecuting the war in Ukraine. They can destroy buildings in Ukriane but I doubt if they are costing US$10 billion in damages to Ukraine daily. Now how long Russia can afford to be losing US$20 billion daily with an economy that is badly battered at home and continued economic isolation from the world is left for anybody to guess.

I like the Chinese method better. They won't take sides like the west does, or pressure others to do the same. They won't sell weapons to either parties to keep murdering each other, they won't twist the narrative and see conflicts as a playground to advance political aims. They won't start sanctioning, or cut off ties with the country they dislike.

Instead they call both countries to the round table, mediate between them and diplomatically reach an agreement for ceasefire. No country should be forced and punished if they didn't take sides. That should be the ideal. Nigeria has immediately took sides against Russia, a very bad move. We lack spine and just want to please the western master. This is what slaves do, not a truly independent country.
The reality is that the law of sovereignty of a nation that makes Pakistan to tell others it is not a slave to be pressured is the same that gives Ukraine the right to join any association it likes and codemns Russia from invading Ukraine for not dancing to Russia's tune.

Any sovereign nation has the right to make their own decisions without the fear that another country would overrun them simply because that country is bigger and better armed. We are not on a jungle!

Forget about your purported Chinese method. If your neighbour because he is bigger and more powerful that you says you shouldn't marry a particular woman and because of that invades your house, would you like it that rather than condemn him the people around are trying to call a round table meeting for settlement while he is damaging you?
