Very good.

Hopefully more protesters can join. More to be arrested and detained by the modern day Hitler. Hopefully there can be a revolution in Russia just like they had in 1917. With that revolution Russian generals can put themselves together and overthrow Putin. Hopefully too a true democrat like Zelensky can lead Russia henceforth and the world can be a better place.

Great.

This simply means that there will be an escalation. It means that Putin has blocked his ears and hardened his heart.

This kind of impunity on the part of Putin must not be allowed to thrive. Putin and his likes must be thrown out of power and never allowed to become presidents.

Russia should move against Poland next. America is a paper tiger, they thought Russia is Africa where they bow to Jesus

How old are you?
Have you completed your secondary school education? You need more knowledge and better listening ears.

helinues:
We dey read and watch their madness as it unfold

I only pitied poor Ukraine who fell for USA and NATO fake promises when Putin seems to be going mad..

Russia is attacking Ukraine while the useless USA, UK and other NATO allies are issuing sanctioning raising funds when they could have defended the Ukrainians from the aggressive Russia.

Useless USA and UK and yet your likes practically sacrifice all you can to get their citizenships.
Na sorry I sorry for you.

On the case...the request made by the Emir's entourage was risky. You cannot, i repeat...cannot stop a plane once it is in the taxiing mode.

Yet that is what they wanted to do. Air peace was right to deny their request.

Air peace even offered them free pass on the next flight self. More than they do for regular passengers. And they still refused

A similar thing happened in South Korea. The daughter of the founder and CEO of an airline ordered a plane in taxi mode back into the hangar because 'she did not get her fave brand of peanuts, or something). That nearly caused a crisis at the airport and put people at risk. The woman who was also an exec at the airline, had to apologise, and was punished by the law. What she did was wrong.

Air peace acted in good faith.

Don’t mind the people.

As a revered monarch, why not get a private jet?

Extra mile ko extra journey ni.

Chai. So tay even PA dey give ultimatum. If e no carry out the threat shame catch am.

Russia can't become a pariah nation.

Do an analysis of their relationship and interaction with other European nations and you will see it isn't possible.

Maybe you need to learn a little bit more about North Korea to understand what happens when you are isolated by the rest of the world.

Maybe you do not understand the present state of the relationship between Russia and the west of Europe. Hopefully you are not looking at Belorussia as other European countries.

I have told you all and I tell you once again.

President Buhari and the APC northern controllers will hand over power to Goodluck Ebelechukwu Jonathan to complete his four years tenure. After his four years, they intend to get power back in the north for eight years before returning to the Igbos in the south.

That is the permutation and that is the only way they think that APC can have more relevance in 2023.

Yeye talk.

Just imagine this statement when the war has started. Which aircraft can get there now that the air space has been closed?

Nigerian embassy officials abroad are among the worst in the world. They behave like mini gods and look for avenues for bribe. A lot of things are not properly done by them.

Our government had the whole time to get things done and they never. Nigerians in Ukraine who have managed own their own to get to the border with Poland are not allowed even to get into Poland.

Maybe our government wants to send escort vehicles with sirens from Nigeria to Ukraine to pick them up.
Na siddon look we dey.

Such a complete irresponsible and reckless move by Putin. This vampire of evil who has chosen to visit innocent Ukrainian families and children with calamity in this particular age must not be allowed to get away with it.

Thankfully President Biden has said that Russia would be made a Pariah state among other nations internationally. Russian scientists have lamented that now no one will collaborate with them in researched and even Russians have started revolting. Hopefully too SWIFT is completely taken away from them and their financial transactions become very difficult.

I sincerely hope that the revolt will pick up and stir Russian generals to overthrow this crazy man before he makes his country appear like an evil empire and innocent Russian citizens pay the price for war they never bargained for.

Na APC work be that.

The conclusion dey clear.

That woman has to open her defense in the court of her husband because that is a very serious case.

Who knows, the man could be training her on how to finish her husband patapata.

NGpatriot:
To start with, sanctions can not stop him from doing what he's already doing so your post is upside down.

The sanctions are in place to make him pay for his actions.

You need money to build and maintain your military.

You need money to finance military hardware.

You need globally sourced electronics and rare materials from the global market to build weapons and gadgets.

You need participation in the international community and events like sports competitions and so on.

These sanctions are going to bite so hard that Russians won't hesitate to kick him out of office.

Long story short, Russia is already a poor country with just weapons so it's about to be one of the poorest countries in the world.

That was the challenge with the old USSR. So much money was spent building the military right from the days of Stalin and the commencement of the stupid Cold War until Mikhail Gorbachev saw the crippling effect of the lives of the people and ended it. The same story happens to North Korea presently where the country has amassed so much weapons, yet is far behind South Korea and very jealous.

The world daily grows beyond the such vicious leaders who set us all behind with their foolish ambitions to claim lands belonging to other nations.

Sanctions surely will affect the Russians, but the major aim will be to frustrate the oligarchs, the generals and the citizens. They may be forced to overthrow Putin if the begin to suffer hardships.

we mus strip Chelsea off dere point and give it to Man UTD or Arsenal....


Abeg we need to check Man City also if dem no get any link with Russia no time..

Please no mention Arsenal put inside. We no want dem points. All we need to do now na to comot Chelsea for premiership come isolate them because Chelsea na Russians dem be.

“ When contacted, the governor’s son confirmed his resolve to take legal action over the issue, but said his father refused to approve the payment over his (Abdulaziz) refusal to give kickback in cash to Ganduje Foundation.”

Just imagine that. What is it between this APC governor and kickbacks? He even demanded kickbacks from his own biological son.

Tufia kwa.

Mark it all today:

If APC does not collapse completely in the coming months, President Buhari will return power to Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

Be informed that Russia can nuke all Europe and wipe them out. That is why they are afraid to send their troops to fight Russia and defend Ukraine, they are scared. Putin said any country that interfere will see consequences they have not seen in their history.
Russia is fighting for their security. Ukraine a child of Russia wants to join the club of the enemies of their father Russia so that they will come and have their war base at the backyard of Russia. If it is America they can't accept it.

This is an opportunity to show the importance of non-alignment and neutrality to countries in world history. All nations must realize that they cannot go after powerful nations and secure their own. It is ridiculous to think that one side can unite and defeat the other because the nuclear powers have a very good assessment of each other's military capabilities. Ukraine would never have been in this predicament if it had pursued a policy of neutrality in the face of the influence of powerful countries. Sadly, it is innocent people who suffer because of politically stupid decisions.

“ Be informed that Russia can nuke all Europe and wipe them out. That is why they are afraid to send their troops to fight Russia and defend Ukraine, they are scared. Putin said any country that interfere will see consequences they have not seen in their history.

1. Russia cannot wipe out the whole of Europe because Russia is part of Europe. Common sense will tell you that Russia too will be wiped out. There are other super powers in Europe with nuclear capabilities. An attack against a NATO ally is an attack against all.

2. No one is afraid to send troops to defend Ukraine. Ukraine is neither part of EU or NATO. But financial, technical and military aid will be sent to Ukraine. An example is the US sending $650 million worth of aid presently. Your Putin acted to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO and making Russia seem vulnerable militarily. Your Putin is an omo oni ile, fighting to grab Ukrainian lands.

3. Putin said any country that interferes will face consequences. He is already facing severe consequences and potentially will destabilize his economy.

4. Ukraine child of Russia? How? Where did you get that from?

Please when you look at historical events, do not draw conclusions without insight. Your comment makes you look like you think this is a Chelsea vs Man U football match. Please read what others discuss to get better grasp of events. That will make you more informed and also allow you give others better information.

Cheers.

Ifesinachi22:
Even China a known Russian ally in a veiled condemnation reiterated that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries should be respected and advised Putin to forget the Cold War mindset.

Nothing shows that NATO was intending to defend Ukraine. No prior statement from NATO forces against the Russian imminent invasion.
In my considered view, a full fledge war has just began btwn the Russian/allies Vs US- allies.

“ Nothing shows that NATO was intending to defend Ukraine. No prior statement from NATO forces against the Russian imminent invasion”. Maybe you did not follow events leading up to the invasion.

The Americans warned longed ago of the intention of Putin to invade Ukraine. Infact it was an open secret and a matter of time before Putin proceeded with his attack. His reasons were also not secret.

sotall:
The madman called Putin will soon realize that he is alone and the consequence of his madness will engulf him.

Even China that he thinks will support him has decided to fold hands and look from afar.

At the end, Putin will be removed as Russia's president and disgraced like a common criminal that he is

Now he faces the whole world.
Even his Chinese friends are careful. This evil must not be allowed to continuously befall weaker nations or people.

Mooh247:



The wise Chinese don't want to gamble their funds in a warzone

Chinese, Arabs and Jews never joke or play with their money

Russia and Ukraine are on their own


Well Russia has $650, billion USD in foreign reserves, they have 2300 tonnes of Gold reserves as well, so they are prepared



.

“ The curbs highlight the difficult balancing act facing China’s biggest financial institutions and the nation’s president, Xi Jinping. While Russia is a major energy supplier to China and the countries often find themselves aligned in geopolitical disputes with the U.S., Russia’s economic weight pales in comparison to Western nations that buy many of China’s exports and control its access to the dollar-dominated international financial system.

China’s four largest banks have complied with previous U.S. sanctions against Iran, North Korea and even top officials in Hong Kong because they need access to the U.S. dollar clearing system, a person familiar with the matter said. In a phone call with Vladimir Putin on Friday, Xi urged the Russian leader to negotiate with Ukraine to defuse tensions.

“Chinese financial institutions take sanctions compliance seriously,” said Ben Kostrzewa, foreign legal consultant at Hogan Lovells in Hong Kong, who formerly handled U.S.-China disputes and negotiations at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. “They don’t want to be sanctioned themselves, they can’t lose access to U.S. dollar transactions, so they are going to have to think about it very seriously -- whatever the geopolitical impact might be.”

Please read for clarity and understanding. Gently take a look at the above copied and get a more informed opinion of what potentially can happen to your Russian economy.

That’s what men do.

No be schools boys who flood Nairaland to talk racism and tribalism without owning voter’s cards.

Let’s see how far Putin can go with this very irresponsible and unnecessary invasion of Ukraine.

Very honourable.

Ammishaddai:
[s][/s] You're just talking through your anus. There are countries with worse economies yet they still retain alternative pay systems that allow citizens spend and make transactions with any foreign currencies as they like . Unlike here where your Yahoo friends have virtually crippled all e-payment platforms like PayPal, Transwise and flutterwave from operating in Nigeria all because of cybercrimes. In fact, wasn't it for this same reason that CBN stopped cryptocurrency from operating in Nigeria ...? Mtchww...continue giving excuses for your Yahoo friends. Your unborn children go hear am . Nonsense

Every reasonable and decent Nigerian must disagree with yahoo and every manner of get-rich-quick scheme. Truthfully they have seriously damaged our ability to use the platforms of some of these international organizations. But sadly, that's not the reason why we cannot use our ATM cards abroad or make some of these dollar transactions.

Look back at the beginning of this regime in 2015. You will recall that it took the president several months to form his cabinet. Within that period our currency was shaking. We were told about "the body language" of the president. Before then you could use your ATM card on any machine around the world. We had daily limit of $300 per day. I was a victim of the problem. They then told us that our foreign reserves had depleted and we could no longer use our cards abroad. Do you remember the word "unavailable". Each time the banks did not have dollars to sell to customers. Bureau de change operators sourced for dollars in Togo, Ghana, etc. CBN did not have dollars to sell to banks. Remember the "policy summersaults"? It took ages to restore it and the banks reduced the daily limit. This government ruined it all.

The major problem is the state of our economy. Everyday our economy goes from bad to worse with very unfavourable economic policies.

Get them to the airport when air traffic has been shut down. The Americans and Europeans started asking the citizens to leave since January!

Na wah for Nigeria sef.

Whazar:
God punish anybody supporting this invasion
I pray Boko Haram invade such people’s hometown and tribesmen too

We have way too many idiots on this forum, so because NATO and the West has done it to the Middle East before Russia too should do it to Ukraine
Who knows wether nah Mali go invade us soon


Rubbish

Abeg if Mali invade your country where you go run go?

The Russians tell us that they intend to remove the present democratic leadership which is next door and does not favour them. Putin has forgotten that each time the Russians installed theirvown kind of leadership, by popular revolt their authoritarian leadership was thrown out.

Let's see how far he can go with this terrible move.

"Most of the girls". So if the schools had 200 students and we assume that " most" must represent over 50℅ of the girls, were raped by a group of armed men not exceeding 10.

How could that have been possible?

Just imagine Taliban advising Russia.

Russia ntoiiiiii.
Russia shame on you and your blind supporters.

torqque7:
The long epistle you just wrote is devoid of any sense in it. Do proper research before you rush to expose your ignorance online in a bid to pose tough. Let me inform you that Russia has very little moral values and a lot of female porn stars are Russian descents and they have a very active LGBT community around the world in in Russia too so that your talk about LGBT etc in America is baseless.

Secondly even the China you talk about hasn’t condemned Russia outrightly because of cowardice and the fear of Russias reaction so the WEST and America are the HEROES for daring to standup to a bully like Russia and America did NOT become the number one in the world because they are FOOLISH, they possess their status as leader because it takes an intelligent and strong person to be an effective leader. For people like you who are just little kids thinking this is PlayStation and saying US has lost it because they didn’t use their military to defend Ukraine at the detriment of the rest of the world means you are clueless.

So you expect USA to come and start shooting Russian troops in Ukraine who hasn’t even joined NATO yet and then Russia with their Mad president Retaliates and shoots down NATO and US satellites or even uses Nuclear weapons and the whole world gets affected at the end is what you think should happen in your poor reasoning and judgement. America is doing the best it can do sensibly with the safety of the rest of the world in mind and as for the SWIFT that your are talking about, go and do proper research on that so that you will understand the effect that action will cause to the global economy and Europe. This is not Kalukalu child’s play.

Unfortunately there are many youths on nairaland who do not read and understand. I sincerely hope that the youths here can read a little bit of history, look at the facts before commenting. History is taking place right now between the two nations and it is recorded daily.

Thank you for your comment. We can talk about this event more deeply if you wish.

Winters23:
Its called the Monroe Doctrine.

The Monroe Doctrine is a United States foreign policy position that opposed European colonialism in the Western Hemisphere. It held that any intervention in the political affairs of the Americas by foreign powers was a potentially hostile act against the U.S.

Despite the above, the US is constantly interfering in other regions politically and militarily: regime changes and election meddling.

I call this the highest form of hypocrisy the world have ever seen!

There is no hypocrisy anywhere. Itbis not for nothing that America is labeled the world's policeman.

Aside from the Monroe doctrine you need to understand how American foreign policies work. Trump did not saw "America first" for nothing.

The battle that the Americans fight is terrorism of all sorts. It is the foreign policy of the Americans to checkmate terrorists and different armed groups/gangs and cartels for peace to remain within their country. Clear cases for American invasion are found in Iraq and Libya.

We need a world free from terrorists and bandits. Putin has always been a trouble maker. His invasion of Ukraine was a long calculated one. His intention is to restore the old Soviet Union and Soviet power. That's a different thing entirely.
