LordReed:
So how does that translate to being saved? You think war is the only way we become unsafe? You don't think the poverty that is ravaging us demands reprieve?

Poverty is relative. Many in Nigeria are not poor at all. Also compared to who? Many countries around Nigeria can only dream of being half as rich

Techsupport:
Observe the total beasts they are today with religion

Well, all those people you complain are being gullible because they are working to get to heaven, how many would have been cut-throats. Righteousness89 possibly would have been an armed robber.
Did you look at it from that angle?

Legendforte:
Spirituality is not the same as religion

Same difference

LordReed:
LoLz. Saving us from what? There is hunger in the land and people are killing their fellows just for a bit of bread and you say we are safe, are you dreaming or what?

Well we are still here ain’t we? And still by far the most populous and most diverse black nation on earth

Lighthouse50:
What do you expect when christ said in the last days the love many have for the Creator will grow cold

Not in Nigeria though. We at least have that

Techsupport:
Look at all the good that is doing us. Are we not just a picture of perfect country.
We are fuccked. And the failures amongst us have used religion as their off ramp

Just imagine what total beasts people would have been without spirituality.
Yes, we are not that great, but we would have been worse without spirituality

Techsupport:
That is what's fuccking us up. People who don't

Quite the opposite. Just imagine Nigeria without the moderating effect of spirituality

Nigeria is second to last.
At least we are good at being religious. Probably what has been saving us.

Christistruth00:
Awolowo and Azikiwe requested for independence at least 20 years too early

But they meant well
Ahmadu Bello was more realistic when he admitted that the North was not ready for independence

With hindsight even the South was not ready for independence at the time

Myopic. If UK had been around till the oil boom in Nigeria u think they would have ever left? Leave trillions of dollars and go home? No way

LeoDeKing:
Fixed.

I noticed most people that come to Nairaland to type nonsense have issues with English as a language.

Have you considered it could be auto-correct? Which is why we don’t nit-pick such things as long as the statement remains intelligible

ericmani:
They almost invaded Cuba, they were ready to invade and start a war. Russia made an agreement with them to remove the nuclear weapon from Cuba if they didn’t invade. That was how the world avoided a huge catastrophe. The question is why wouldn’t the US and NATO keep to their agreement of not expanding to Eastern Europe The war would have been avoided if they did but they thought Putin was bluffing when he was complaining last December.

ALMOST invaded! And only because Russia suddenly decided to park nuclear warheads aimed at US in Cuba!

Anyway this is a wrong analogy. A right analogy would be US invading Mexico because they won’t promise never to align with Russia. U know fully well US would never do that.

What agreement? Present it, let’s see how NATO violated it.

Skyfornia:
Knowledge is power!

You see that phrase above? It is underrated...
This is why we should not stop learning to avoid embarrassing ourselves.


Wisdom, Knowledge and understanding will always set you apart and ahead of others.

Action is the real power, not knowledge. APPLIED KNOWLEDGE is power.

tonididdy:
I educate you kid, not the other way round.
I have toured through the streets of queens to Wall Street.
American oil is insufficient for America, her oil is second grade ( in oil terms it is bitter oil).
Also Americans are even greedier than our African politicians.
The case of America oil import is same case of Nigerian generators and the witch hunt of 'stable' electricity.

Get some education. See below. America can EASILY be a permanent oil exporter. That they are not is intentional. They were exporting oil under Trump.

tonididdy:
You mean oil is gone?
If America could return to her vomit for help... Russia get hope.
... They say it's a small world, I bet you know what that means?

America has more oil than Russia. Research it

tonididdy:
Same sanctions existed before they bidded the 2018 worlds cup and won it.
If NK that has nothing to sell to the world in the open, can carry out military expeditions Nigeria can only have in dreams.
Russia will survive past sanctions...
The USA is not the only country in the world.
Shalom!

You know fully well the Russian brand is forever damaged by this conflict. The Russia of 2018 is gone thanks to this conflict, and likely gone forever

ericmani:
There’s a lot going on about this war that we don’t know, but we’re so quick to pick sides. We should remain neutral no matter what cos Ukraine has every right to defend itself and Russian have every right to defend its borders and territory even if it means going to war. US and UK would have done the same too if they feel threaten by their perceived enemy on any of their neighboring countries.

This is not true. US and UK will never invade a neighbor just for aligning with Russia. Different if Russia then started moving warheads into that country as in a Bay of Pigs. US did all they could to kill Castro and remove communism, but couldn’t. They didn’t then invade Cuba! Especially not after assuring everyone they’d never invade Ukraine and presenting video evidence to prove it!

Bollinga:
Oga, Ukraine has lost whether they overcome Russian or not. How can Ukraine recover from all the damages done in their country.. No win fir Ukraine in this war. The destruction was too much

This says it all: the fact that you actually wrote
”whether they overcome Russian or not“. Wow!
We are now actually considering this. Same Ukraine that many betted would fall within TWO days!
As for overcoming, they don’t have to overcome anything. Just leave Putin a desolate land - that and reduced status, wealth, and branding in the word. The very definition of Pyrrhic victory.

tonididdy:
Your username says it all, you are an aspiring American bulldog but I have bad news for you, no visa dates for you until 2045

About your video, that was putin just like every world president bidding for a world conference to be held in moscow, just like he bidded for the world Cup in 2018 and WON it.
that video has nothing to do with sanctions.
To get to a wider audience he decided to speak in english.

Even CNN didn't twist the narrative like you did, CNN presenter was showing to the world the English side of Vladimir Putin BUT you okon change am because you think all nairalanders don't have data to watch videos but you fail!

You dey learn propaganda but you still an amateur.

What is this one talking about?
You are making my point exactly:
That Russia treasures hosting even ONE, now they are being subjected to bans from thousands!

alphaNomega:
Meanwhile the owners of oil corporations are reading these type of posts and smiling to the bank.

People can't realise when they are being manipulated and it is great for oligarchs all over the world.

You missed this part of my post:

And whoever thinks the sanctions are not deeply affecting Russia, watch this below. To get JUST ONE convention to be held in Russia, here is Putin meekly begging in English. Compare to the THOUSANDS of bans, closings, and sanctions Russia is currently being subjected to!

Playermayweda:
Lol, won but has suffered unimaginable casualties, in this kind of war no winners or losers only survivors, survival is more important than fighting a losing battle

Unimaginable my ass. You only die once, some even commit suicide. Who’d have imagined that the world can be this united. Ukraine did it!
Russia will never be Russia again. The brand is permanently damaged. After they “win” they still lose.

freshkpomo:
Can I know the tribe of that person? We have two coward regions in Nigeria who love slavery so much abd that's why fulsni keep killing them in dozens yet they still worship theyr Fulani Arab lords.

Why don’t you try to stop being a dumb tribalist. Aren’t you more than a tribe? Don’t you know it has been conclusively proven that the more uneducated and unenlightened people are, the more likely they are to be tribalist and racist?
There are cowards and courageous men in every tribe. If you are Igbo, which Igbo is more courageous than Fela or Soyinka?

I posted this below to someone who was arguing that Ukraine should never have started fighting because they never had any chance of winning:

So in your opinion it’d have been better for them to let Putin walk in and take over their country. U sound like a coward in life. You probably never heard the saying: “Better to die on your feet than live on your knees”.
Don’t you realize that whatever happens Ukraine has already won? What they did is the equivalent of punching a bully in the nose. They have united the world against Russia, a country now basically seen as a pariah state. Putin may actually end up going to jail. How many Russian soldiers and top officers have been killed?
And how long do you think it would take Russia to dig out of all these sanctions, closings, and bans??

of what to expect in an "unequal" war.

FreeIgboho:
If you calmly look at things you’ll see NATO is just a ruse. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, are all already parts of NATO. What Russia is concerned about is not NATO. Their concern is that sooner or later Ukraine would develop nukes. The true purpose of this war is to remove or delay the possibility that Ukraine would ever develop nukes!

In other words, if Ukraine develops nuclear weapons it wouldn’t matter wether they are NATO or not.
queenvaji, this guy is right!

Because it is the only thing that gives his life any kind of meaning, that prevents him from committing suicide, being a total failure in all other aspects of life

Oloufounke:
Hmmmm so it's all in the mind

Placebo effect is simply amazing. I had this guy who got sick if he didn’t take dope. For some time they sold him fake dope - and he never got sick until he found out he wasn’t taking dope!

victorazy:
Did you see color as specification?

So give us the answer to this below.

U now see the fallacy in your answer? Even if blue was lebeled as “apple” it would still be blue!

Oloufounke:
Does that thing really work

Doesn’t matter AT ALL. As long as they think it works.
I once had a guy who sold cocaine. People still got high when he sold them glucose - because they thought it was cocaine!

nextstep:
I think the color of the text does not matter. B has been assigned to blue. The question does not even ask about the color "blue", it asks which variable is assigned the text blue. B would still be correct even if the color of all text was yellow.

Moji12:
It is a logical question. It says which of the following is blue? We ain't looking at the colour here but the word that says blue.
So it is B

Alright, “the cololor of the text does not matter”, right? So the answer to the puzzle below is none?
Simple: the answer is “A and B”
Enough information was not supplied to narrow it to one of them. And you can’t read his mind - wether he meant word or color

Heineken:
long time bro. How have you been sir? I don't really come here again. I decided to check and say hi sir

Hanging in there my brother. Hope all’s been well with you. Me too, I check in once in awhile
