BRICS is not a military alliance
G7 is BRICS

any economic alliance that helps you to beat western sanctions should be considered subtle military alliance.

They should get themselves off the sanctions and probably work to get their economy on good footings instead of this madness.


The west imposed sanctions because of Mugabe and Mugabe is no more and they're still struggling. Mnangwagwa has failed.

Where's grace Mugabe sef?

Of course, the AU will meet with Putin. After all, the organization equally represents Northern African countries like Egypt, Tunisia, etc, which rely considerably on wheat. But the fact remains that Sub-Sharan Africa is NOT dependent on wheat-based meals. How many of us eat spaghetti, pastries, or macaroni? There are even many alternatives to semolina like garri, fufu, plantain flour, etc. It would've been a different case if it was rice, but wheat?? C'mon!

come to the north and you'd know Nigeria depends on wheat-based foods. My friend is even a wheat farmer up there in the north and the demand is very high.

Ignoramus. Your black skin is caused by a chemical known as MELANIN, a supreme gift from the Almighty to protect you from the sun rays on the world's hottest continent. Without that MELANIN, you would not be alive today as your ancestors would have perished thousands of years ago.

SO INSTEAD OF SEEING YOUR SKIN COLOUR AS 'INFERIOR' LIKE A BRAINWASHED BUFFOON, THANK YOUR MAKER EVERY DAY FOR IT.

you people rush to reply without understanding. Who doesn't know what you wrote up there?

I'm saying why don't we get things right? Name one black nation or society working... Just one!

In Yoruba parlance , it means ," wọ́n yọ́ shock lẹ́sẹ̀ ẹ̀ ( they deceived and pushed him forward, and removed the brakes).

The actors and celebrities deceived the ordinary populace that they were going to fight and if need be, die together.
However, once the populace took the bait, like zelensy ( who is reportedly holed up in a mansion in Poland) , they ran off and left the fools to their fate.

I wish they can capture Zelensky too so he'd know what he got his people into.

tempest01:
Lol...Putin fan kids. Losing a war that only just begun?

You don't just capture territory, you have to hold territory.

you have to capture first before thinking of how to hold it.

Didn't they capture Crimea and it's still under them?

AlphaTaikun:
@Caseless, you're right. His calmness has a commanding presence. I wish Shinzo and Akie Abe had at least two kids to keep his legacy alive since he comes from a political family.

Just like Shinzo Abe, many Japanese have moved on from the horrendous events of the U.S. Pearl Habour bombings in Hawaii by Japan, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki where those U.S. nukes exploded in 1945.


Lack of forgiveness leads to negative energy on a long-term basis and the Japanese clearly realise this.

In a documentary I watched over 20 years ago (in the 1990s), one of the U.S. pilots (crew member) who flew one of the planes that carried a nuke on board went back to Japan to pay his respects.

Your absolutely right about Japan and China! For instance, the Nanking Province in China invasion by Japan forces was very brutal with mass rapes, just like the Russian (Soviet Union) Red Army engaged in brutal mass rapes on entering Berlin, Germany. Sincere apologies on all sides would heal all wounds. War has negative effects, but then countries have to be on guard to defend themselves after negotiations may have failed.


All the best.

spot-on!

Forgiveness is key, but I wonder how Japan is still being intensely used by the USA to checkmate China. They forgave those who nuke them and antagonize those(Chinese) they invaded their land.

Appleyard:
You're so right. It's very hurtful when workers are about to lose their jobs. Some German top companies are already contemplating job cuts due to the inflationary rates that's not receding but increasing each passing month. And once you have job cuts, it means loss of productivity, so the observer was spot on.

The fact is, you cannot replace "cheap" raw materials, especially when you're running an economy that overwhelmingly revolves around industrial manufacturing. You need the cheap raw materials to stay competitive in terms of market price, which has been Germany's secret economic weapon for ages--cheap energy, cheap metal sheets, cheap wood, coal, iron ore, palladium, nickel and so forth.

Even as the country eyes diversification away from some of its dependent sources like Russia, the fact remains that prices of most of those raw materials have skyrocketed, and diversification isn't something you achieve overnight. Therefore, in whatever ways, the German economy is screwed for the time being as it continue to head on the negative side of things, no thanks to the devastating leftover effect of the Covid-19 virus and the ongoing war in Ukraine.

I heard the west is violating its own sanctions to return the pipelines taken to Canada for servicing will be returned so gas supply can continue because Germany can't afford 10 days break of non-gas supply from Russia.

This war is taking a different turn.

tommy589:
Just like the failed SAP they gave us. See the economic decline 30+ year after

SAP literally destroyed our country and it's one reason I can never celebrate IBB.


Your thread is with little details though.

KaluwisxPRO:
Plenty does not mean powerful or strong. US has the worlds total defense budget as their annual budget.

Let that sink into your skull where they’re pumping such funds. Russia does not spend %25 of that on their crowded military.

That gave them victory Vietnam and in Afghanistan after 20 years of war with ordinary taliban.

Imagine the speed with which they'll release the video if were done by the Russian army.

I'm not supporting what's happening in Ukraine, but I feel the double standard should be challenged. They go to people backyard to kill civilians but won't allow such on their own land. I guess that's where Russia drew its inspiration to invade from - the west did it first.

If Russia should not invade, America shouldn't too.

The west should stop seeing their problems as everyone's problems and everyone's problem as not their own problems. When this happens, we can all operate on equal grounds.

Egypt is also building a world class city from scratch

I'm happy Egypt is getting to the space it ought to occupy in global strength and recognition.

Wait oo... It seems Abdulfatah El-sissy is working to build a modern Egypt. A lot of good stories seem to be coming from that side in recent time.

ExplorerReturns:
Anything new? No be Russian tanks wey Ukrainian farmers dey use do tractor?

you believe that story?

Just like the celebrities in Ukraine who took arms to fight for their country on social media disappeared, same thing happened to some of you who gulped a lot of western propaganda, like the one you stated here - you will disappear forever from the cyberspace.

tempest01:
Google HIMARS and see the devastation the Russian military is currently facing in Ukraine.

Luckily for them, US has warned Ukraine to only use the weapon for defence and not attack Russia. If not Moscow would have had a taste of their own medicine.

How do you guys, after consuming heavy dose of propaganda, come out to lie to yourselves and everyone?

Even as it's obvious that Ukraine is losing the war and NATO is losing its political base, you guys are still here selling this story. Smh

oz4real83:
Africa has abundance of fertile land, land that may not even need fertilizer . Africa has no genuine reason to be hungry but bad leadership can make a country that is flooded with drinking water to still go thirtsy.

Sometimes, I genuinely feel like something is in our black skin that takes away the sense of reasoning to get simple things working. We have everything and we lack everything.

Abe is survived by his wife Akie Abe, née Matsuzaki, who he married in 1987. The couple did not have children.

Eyya... This saddens me more than his senseless assassination.

He's calm and has contributed immensely to the growth of his country. My only problem with Abe was how he appeared to worship the USA at every turn - forgetting and forgiving the Hiroshima nuclear gift they received from America, but sees China they once muscled as an enemy; at every war memorial, Chinese government always asked the Japanese to apologize for what they did to them.

It's embarrassing for a political leader to be assassinated and it's even more embarrassing that it happened in a developed nation like Japan.

Rest on, Abe.

Dem never see anything...

I wish she can realize this dream. What I love most about her is the fact that she's carrying a Nigerian name.



I wish her the best of lucks. Even if she doesn't emerge, I'm sure she has made a mark by attempting to be the PM.

Ibime:
What do you mean you don't support Russia on this? Has RichyBlack the militant gone soft ? . . . . . lol. . .

It was Georgia who made the first move in this chess game. The day they invaded South Osettia, I told my friend that they have finished themselves because Russia will retaliate. What, did they think Russia was going to stand by and let that happen? Russia don't play that. The West have just proved that they do not back their allies. They were the ones who told Georgia to invade South Ossetia because Georgia cannot take such a decision independently. Yet when qwatar start, they turned their back on Georgia. 80% of Europe's gas comes from Russia, that is why they didn't back Georgia - because they don't want to freeze this winter. lol.

The people of South Ossetia all own Russian passports, therefore Russia did not break any law by moving in. They've wanted to leave Georgia for a long time but Georgia would not let them go. Now they are seeing that Russsian passport is more profitable than Shengen passport. All of them are celebrating in the streets today - and that is all that matters, not all this nonsense diplomatic arguments about who owns what.

This is a test case for other places like Azerbaijan and Ukraine who have adopted pro-Western and anti-Russian stances. Will the West really back them against Russia or will they chicken out at the last minute as they did with Georgia? This could even also be a test case for seperatist movements in Africa, such as Biafra. . . . .

This is relevant right now.

Hanibbal:
An economic power house like Germany is wary of plundering its own military arsenal while small Baltic states and other insignificant NATO countries are busy arming Ukraine.

Because the Baltic states believe USA will come and defend them.

shogsman:
We keep telling the few stooges believing Thier every word but they don't listen, I can't even begin to list the amount of ridiculous propaganda they've pushed out, from the maternity bombing showing a woman with a bruised head which latee turned out to be an actress to the ghost of kiev

that one on ghost of Kiev is the cheapest of them all.

They have an idiot as a leader who was so eager to please America because he's new on the block and displease his own people.

Angela Merkel wouldn't have allowed this in the first place. She stood her ground for many years and I'm sure Germans are missing her right now.

rottennaija:
I'm sure this was not the script CNN expected from him. You can clearly see the anchor trying to pushing the conversation in the direction he wants.

The anchor didn't see this coming. He switched from the narrative they wanted him to advance.

We all know the truth, but those who believe America can do no wrong won't allow us to say a thing.

You cannot do to others what you don't accept. America feels their interest is above everything in the world and other nations are not allowed to have such sacrosanct national interest.

America hasn't been invaded before, so they don't know what it means for Russia to say No to NATO eastward expansion.

If America hadn't invaded countries before, we won't find reasons to justify Putin's actions. America does not have the moral right to call Putin out when he's obviously borrowing a leaf from them.

kingjis:
How old are you?

you missed the sarcasm.

mike8804:
Ukraine army arguably the best land army in Europe, both in size, weapons and training, They can defeat even the UK or Germany in conventional war, and yet with less than 10% of Russia military they're been dessiminated like a west Africa military.

I laugh. How they made this war about media frenzy in the beginning was shocking. Their celebrities who took guns to defend their country, where are they right now?

They think say war na Instagram.

Zelensky should be toppled. He's stupid to have listened to NATO and dared Russia to have his country destroyed instead of declaring neutrality.

They thought their sanctions always work. They ended up sanctioning themselves this time around. Even Boris Johnson that openly said they'd put sanctions on Russia so Russians can be triggered to remove Putin narrowly escaped vote of no confidence twice and he's falling down the popularity order and was forced to step down.

Joe Biden is feeling it at home too and inflation has engulfed the whole of Europe.

Germany is back to using coal while their stupid chancellor is now joining France in calling for peace. If Angela Merkel was here, there's no way she'd sit and allow this war to unfold.
The current German leader even put a lid on nordstream just to please America.

We're happy the world is 'multi-polar' right now. America cannot continue to dictate to all of us.

Ukraine lost this war and it may never recover again.

tillaman:
Source please

if you read it, you will see where he mentioned Reuters. That's one source. He's just without link.

Trash...

1000 million Christians bawo?

What nonsense is 'moderate Muslim'? They are Muslims and don't give them another name.

Osibanjo is a pastor. I didn't see you tag him an extremist Christian. Why do you choose this title when a Muslim is involved?

gentlegenius:
Tinubu actually promised to pick his running mate from the APC northern Governors. That was why they fought for him before the primaries.

We were all made ti believe this and I don't think this is what they agreed. Shettima is a former governor too. Let's wait and see what the official statement from them would be.

MadamVanessa:





There's no way Tinubu will be president, I can bet it with anything I have. Tinubu made a very costly mistake seriously. The election is now between Peter Obi and Atiku, you can take it to the bank.

you people never believed he could get here and he did. Why are you bothered about his choice of running-mate? Is it not his defeat you all pray for? He has taken a decision that would make him lose and you guys are not celebrating, but complaining. What do you guys really want?
