The fear of Sanctions is the begining of wisdom. China has seen what is happening to Russia. They wouldn't want to fail into the same shiit ![]() |
Wolb:Moderators why doesn't Nairaland take drastic measures to ban all these people with adverts. It is usually annoying the way these unsolicited advert flood threads. Don't you have advert sections ![]() |
Ghen-ghen. This Osibanjo is a badt guy. Why does he want to make Tinubu wee his pants again? ![]() But on a serious note, Osibanjo is the next Nigerian President if this news is true. He will win. RCCG as a church is a brand with over 10million followers ( take it or leave it). And if Osibanjo has the backing of the G.O of RCCG, then close to 7million votes is in the kitty for him. And it is not surprising that RCCG recently opened a political department in the church to sensitize members. It could be a grand Machinery for Osibanjo Presidency. Religion is a powerful tool in politics. Osibanjo will have his back covered in that regard. All hail the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria - Yemi Osibanjo. Let me be going before Tinubu online urchins on Nairaland come for my jogulars. I come in peace o. ![]() |
MadamVanessa:Madam Vanessa, loolz. ![]() But biko is that you in that your profile pix? Should we also interprete what we saw in your profile pix? I think Nairalanders will be more interested in interpreting your profile pix than Osibanjo.. Lolz |
So much for Putin's War. Russian citizens have lost so much because of this senseless war that Putin is stubbornly trying to use and showcase his personal ego. The one that pain me most of Roman Abramovich having the lose a great club in the level of Chelsea. Russians should just put a bullet in Putin's miserable brain and have their peace. |
APC is full of deceits, with Clueless Buhari playing demi-god unilaterally deciding issues while Malami is remote controlling him. Malami has been with Remote control of Buhari after Abba Kyari death. Malami presses PLAY and STOP at will. They will so deceive and frustrate themselves going to the elections. Yemi Osibanjo is their best candidate, but APC people are full of deceits with selfish intents and won't see him as best potential to win for APC. Anyway, 2023 will come and go, any body will be president but definitely not Tinubu. The gods have rejected that old crook. |
Any Southerner clamouring for Jonathan to come back in 2023 is politically naive. Jonathan can only do 4yrs, cos he has already done 4yrs. The idea of Jonathan is a grand ploy by Northern politicians to ensure that power goes back to the North in 2027, thereby short changing the Southern 8yrs by 4yrs. By 2027, Jonathan will have to step aside and the North will insist power must go back to the North and won't accept another southerner doing another term. Jonathan should not be selfish to fall for that deceit and throw away 4yrs of the South. |
That's a bullet for sure. But I don't know from what make of a gun. But take a piece of my advice.... Make Police no catch you with that thing in your hand oooo. You will be arrested as a criminal and nothing you will explain that will free you. It can cost you and your family up to N500k to bail you from custody if those Criminals in uniforms arrest you. I don talk my own |
Hmmmm. Firstly, Suicide isn't the best way to end ones woes. Suicide is a mark of failure and defeat. We must always find a reason to live on. Secondly, for those that play betting, don't they know when to stop? Fools don't know Addictions are bad, but all self inflicted addictions can be controlled so that damage is not caused. Just as drinking is an addiction, putting a discipline limit to the number of bottles one drink at a time is good way to avert the danger of drinking addiction. Same with gambling. Gambling is a very bad addiction. Don't gamble with monies that will hurt you. And more importantly, DONT GAMBLE AT ALL. |
VULCAN:And obviously you are a Putin supporter. Where has a leader of a country risen up to start a war to brazenly remove the leader of another country? Your foolish brain doesn't tell you that is unacceptable in international law? Only terrorists supports Putin. If you support Putin then you are one. |
Ok oooo After Putin conquers Kyiv what next? He would beat his chest and claim he won and then ask for a Medal ![]() When the gods want to destroy a man, they first make him mad. Mad Putin is about to be destroyed by the gods. |
leathalbeast:Will you shut the fvvck up? Why are you so pained by this news? Didn't you hear Putin is asking for people like you to volunteer and help him fight small Ukraine? For you information, Putin is a loser. He will either face rebellion from Russians and be booted or be killed Or he will be jailed for War crimes. |
goodheart01:Russia has always lost out in the cold war against the US. The US always know how to deal with them. Putin miscalculated this war. He had the backing of China, North Korea and some Arab Nations incase it turns to a full blown war with the west. They plan was to gang up and destroy the US. The US had good Intel of their plan, and even when Putin was denying he didn't intend to invade Ukraine, the US insisted Putin will invade. And when Putin finally did, they had expected the US will come running into their trap. But US deployed another War strategy against Putin. And that was economic war by throwing all sorts of sanctions on Russia. Both Russia and China didn't expect this move, and they were dumbfounded. Putin and Russia has been brought to the knees by the US without a single shot fired at them by the US. Putin is still a dumb learner despite his many years as KGB Boss. |
Na today? Foolish Putin thought Ukraine will be easy cake and overtaken in 2days. He got the shock of his life. In over 2wks, Russian Army cannot enter Kyiv, and Putin is now begging for volunteers from Arab Nations to help him fight small Ukraine. Yeye man. He better remove that his useless overhyped army from Ukraine. Some foolish teenagers on Nairaland will be coming here to brag about how Russia will defeat America in a war. Common Ukraine they are struggling. Na USA they will fit fight Mtcheeew |
Super Eagles that is now Quota system. Federal Character bullshit has long crept in to Nigerian football. NFA won't admit it, but we know it. Sadiq should shut the fvvck up. He is in the Eagles on Quota system. |
leathalbeast:Subdued rants from a Putin supporter. You are supporting the wrong horse dude. Putin will be on his knees when sanctions bite harder. |
Apart from the US, UK the European Union, FIFA, International Olympic Committee etc, many other organisations and bodies have sanctioned Russia for invading Ukraine and starting a War. American Express, Amazon, eBay, Bolt/ Uber, DHL, General Motors, Honda, Nokia, Zoom, Cisco, Adidas, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Instagram, McDonald's and Hewlett-Packard have also placed sanctions on Russia. *BP* Energy firm BP, which calls itself Russia's largest foreign investor, said on Sunday that it would abandon its nearly 20% stake in Russian state-owned oil and gas company Rosneft. The move could cost it anywhere from $14 billion to $25 billion, according to Reuters. *Equinor* Norway's biggest energy company announced Monday it would begin withdrawing from its joint ventures in Russia, valued at about $1.2 billion. "We are all deeply troubled by the invasion of Ukraine, which represents a terrible setback for the world," Anders Opedal, Equinor's president and CEO, said in a statement. *Exxon* ExxonMobil on Wednesday said it would pull out of a key oil and gas project, Sakhalin-1, and halt any new investments in Russia. The firm did not provide a timeline for its withdrawal from the project, which it operates on behalf of an international consortium. "The process to discontinue operations will need to be carefully managed and closely coordinated with the co-venturers in order to ensure it is executed safely," the company said in its announcement, adding, "ExxonMobil supports the people of Ukraine as they seek to defend their freedom and determine their own future as a nation. We deplore Russia's military action that violates the territorial integrity of Ukraine and endangers its people." *Shell* On Monday, Shell said it was leaving its joint venture with state-owned Gazprom and ending its involvement in the now-suspended Nord Stream 2 pipeline built to carry natural gas to Western Europe. The move could cost the company roughly $3 billion in assets. Cars and planes Companies in the auto and aviation industries also signaled they're staying out of the Russian market, either out of concern for Ukraine or to comply with Western sanctions. *Boeing and Airbus* Airplane makers Boeing and Airbus stopped supplying parts and service support for Russian carriers. Boeing suspended major operations in Moscow and has temporarily closed its Kyiv office. Russian airlines have 62 planes on order with the two manufacturers, Reuters reported. *Daimler Truck* Germany's Daimler Truck has suspended deliveries of truck components to its Russian partner Kamaz. "We have decided to discontinue our business activities in Russia with immediate effect until further notice," it tweeted on Monday. We have decided to suspend our business activities in Russia with immediate effect until further notice. We are monitoring the situation closely and will review our decision regularly. Of course, we will comply with all measures taken by the German government and the EU. *Ford Motor Company* Ford also suspended operations in Russia and said it would donate money for Ukrainian refugees. The company's Russia business is quite limited, with Ford having a minority stake in a joint venture with PJSC Sollers, which focuses on commercial van manufacturing. "Given the situation, we have today informed our JV partners that we are suspending our operations in Russia, effective immediately, until further notice," Ford said. "While we don't have significant operations in Ukraine, we do have a strong contingent of Ukrainian nationals working at Ford around the world and we will continue to support them through this time," the company added. *Harley-Davidson* Harley-Davidson halted motorcycle shipments to Russia, saying its thoughts "continue for the safety of the people of Ukraine." Putin famously rode a three-wheeled Harley on a visit to Ukraine in 2010. *Mercedes-Benz* Mercedes-Benz suspended exports of cars and vans to Russia and ceased its manufacturing there late on Wednesday. It will keep working with suppliers in Ukraine, who provide some components for its vehicles, MarketWatch reported. *Renault* Renault, one of the biggest players in Russia's auto market, said only that it's temporarily suspending production at its Moscow plant through Saturday "due to some logistics issues," without being more specific. It's among companies with more entrenched Russian operations that might find it harder to navigate the crisis. *Toyota* Toyota is halting production at its St. Petersburg plant that makes RAV4 and Camry models starting Friday because of supply-chain disruptions, saying it was watching events "with great concern for the safety of the people of Ukraine." *Volkswagen* The Volkswagen Group, whose auto brands include Audi, Ducati, Skoda and Porsche, on Thursday said it would stop production at two factories in Russia as well as halt exports to the country immediately. Affected Russian workers would receive paid leave from the company, VW said. Against the background of the Russian attack on #Ukraine, #VWGroup has decided to stop the production of vehicles in #Russia (Kaluga, Nizhny Novgorod) until further notice. Vehicle exports to Russia will also be stopped with immediate effect. — Volkswagen Group (@VWGroup) March 3, 2022 *Volvo* Sweden's Volvo Cars said it stopped deliveries because of "potential risks associated with trading material with Russia," including Western sanctions. *Consumer goods* *Airbnb* The online housing service said late Thursday that it had paused all operations in Russia and its close ally Belarus. Earlier this week, Airbnb also announced that its nonprofit arm will offer free shelter for up to 100,000 people who have fled Ukraine because of the invasion. *Budvar* Czech brewer Budvar, which counts Russia as one of its five major markets, halted beer deliveries to the country, saying business is not the top priority and that it's looking for ways to help, including finding accommodations for Ukrainian refugees. *Carlsberg* Copenhagen-based Danish brewery group Carlsberg suspended production at two breweries in Ukraine, saying it's "following the situation with great concern." The company didn't comment on its extensive Russian operations, including St. Petersburg-based Baltika Breweries, which exports beer worldwide. *Disney* Walt Disney on Monday said it would pause the release of its films in Russian theaters, including the upcoming "Turning Red" from Pixar. "We are working with our NGO partners to provide urgent aid and other humanitarian assistance to refugees," the entertainment giant stated. *H&M* The fast-fashion chain said on Tuesday it would "temporarily pause all sales in Russia." All of its Ukraine stores have been closed for safety reasons, H&M said. "H&M Group is deeply concerned about the tragic developments in Ukraine and stand with all the people who are suffering," the company said in its statement. *Ikea* The Swedish furniture company said it was closing all of its Russian stores and pausing sourcing from Russia as well as Belarus, an ally of Russia "The war has both a huge human impact and is resulting in serious disruptions to supply chain and trading conditions, which is why the company groups have decided to temporarily pause IKEA operations in Russia," IKEA and Ingka Group said, according to Reuters. *Nike* Nike said it would temporarily shut down all its stores in Russia, a move that followed the sportswear company making purchases on its website and app unavailable in the country. *TJX Cos* TJX, which owns U.S. chains Marshall's, TJ Maxx and Home Goods, plans to sell its 25% stake in Russian apparel retailer Familia. TJX does not have sales in Ukraine or Russia, it said in a regulatory filing. TJX's stake was worth $186 million before the Russian ruble's precipitous fall. *Visa, Mastercard and American Express* Visa and Mastercard said Saturday that they were suspending their operations in Russia, days after blocking transactions for Russian banks targeted by U.S. and European sanctions, and American Express followed suit on Sunday. Visa and Mastercard's suspensions were announced within 16 minutes of each other, and they followed a private video call earlier in the day between President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and U.S. lawmakers. During that conversation, Zelensky "asked us to turn off MasterCard and Visa for Russia," Representative Brad Sherman, a Democrat from California, tweeted. "I agree," he added, before Mastercard and Visa made their announcements. American Express additionally said Sunday that they would also terminating all business operations in Belarus. *Tech* Tech companies also headed for the door, aided by pressure and pleas from Ukrainian government officials. *Netflix* Netflix said Sunday that "given the circumstances on the ground, we have decided to suspend our service in Russia." *Apple* Apple said it would stop selling its iPhone and other popular devices inside Russia. Apple doesn't have stores in the country but its products are popular there, sold through many third-party retailers. The company also suspended Apple Pay systems in Russia and removed Sputnik and RT, two government-backed news organizations, from the App Store outside of Russia. In Ukraine, Apple has limited data-sharing on Apple Maps. CEO Tim Cook told employees the company would match donations to some relief organizations two-to-one. *Dell* Dell Technologies has "suspended" sales in both Ukraine and Russia. *Google* Google has blocked Russian state media channels from its platforms, including the Google Play store. It has suspended Google Pay for customers of sanctions-hit Russian banks, meaning customers of those banks won't be able to use the mobile payment system. *Meta* The company formerly known as Facebook has blocked access to Russian state-controlled outlets across the European Union after it "received requests from a number of Governments and the EU," the company's policy head Nick Clegg said on Monday. *TikTok* TikTok has blocked Russian state media channels from the platform, including RT and Sputnik. On Sunday, TikTok said it would be suspending livestreaming and posting of new content in Russia. "A smart business proposal" For many companies, exiting Russia is as much about business as it is about morality. "It's really tough to do business in Russia under the best of conditions. Now it's become just crazy. So getting out is a smart business proposal," said James O'Rourke, professor of management at the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business, who specializes in reputation management and business communications. "This is like going into business with the Manson family," O'Rourke added referring to the followers of cult leader Charles Manson. "You honestly do not want your name associated with those people, and it's probably not going to cost you that much to disinvest. As the war's human cost grows, companies will have to respond not just to sanctions, but public sentiment, too. Two million people have fled Ukraine as of Thursday, according to the United Nations refugee agency. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/russia-corporations-that-have-pulled-out/ |
Bellerophon:No mind all these illiterate teenagers on Nairaland. I just told him almost same thing I replied him. No currency can replace the Dollar in International trade. Putin was expecting a Military action, but he got Economic sanctions instead, and the hit is getting worse and he is regretting his actions. |
leathalbeast:Lolx. Hear teenage boy argument. China will replace wetin? No currency can replace the Dollar in the International exchange for a long time. Na be today. Not even the Euros ( that is more valuable than dollar) can replace the Dollar in International trade. And you are talking about Chinese Yuan replacing the Dollar? Hahahahahaha. Mumu talk. Pls if them keep 1000 Yuan and 100 dollars beside it, which one will you take? So you take Chinese Yuan? Even China man will tell you that u are stupid to take Yuan. Some of you come to Nairaland and argue with your anus because you want to be sentimental. Boy, with US sanctions flying on Russia, Putin is going to kill Russia with this silly stronghead war. |
Russia don enter wahala with all sorts of sanctions flying like missles on their head. The world is a global state and each country need others to survive. No country can survive if all are rejecting u. Russia will soon become a Pariah state and their econmy grounded. Putin was expecting a military war with the US, but he got a fierce economic war. Putin will soon be on his knees without the UN firing a military weapon at him. He didn't bargain for all these sanctions at all. This will be a lesson for North Korea that is flexing muscle with Nukes to mind their actions. |
lessonotes:Well Said. Ukrainians have proven they are no pushovers. Even if they lose the war, Putin will never try invading another country without thinking it thru. And his army will rebel against him if he starts another invasion. |
Igbofam:I salute the entire Ukrainians both men and women for their courage and bravery. Many people had expected Russian Army to overrun Ukraine within 2days. But if they haven't been able to do that in almost 2weeks, it means they Ukrainians are no pushover and they are fighting back strong against a highly equipped Russian Army. Over the weekend I overheard a group of people hyping Putin and Russia that Russia will easily defeat America in a war. I could help than ask them how will Russia defeat America Russia could win a battle against the US even when they were fully one Nation as USSR, is it now that they are depleted nation?In terms of Military power, the US pass them. There is no doubt that the US is number 1 super power in terms of Military and technology ( though china has overtaken them in technology). And War is won on 3 basisc factors - Military equipment, Technology and Strategically expertise. And in all these factors, the US surpass Russia. The fact remains that Russia would have easily lost this war if they were fighting the war against the US and NATO forces. Common Rag tag Ukraine army see as Russia is struggling. Putin better carry is Army out of Ukraine before he is shamed. Fool |
useni1:See Aboki terrorist. Why would dollar collapse, na Japanese yen or China yuan you go use .If you see 10 Dollars now, your yeye prick go stand. Mumu like u. Dollar keee you there. |
djseanjohn77:Look who is coming to lecture me about International Politics. Boy, calm down. I knew far more in these matters long before you started crawling. No jokes. Firstly, I don't watch CNN and BBC alone as you said. I also watch Aljezeera, DW, TV5, Fox news and even your local TVC to get balanced perspective. I know you watch only NTA and rely on your govt propaganda tv station .... Lolz. Secondly, what you don't know is that Russia also had built and equipped Military facilities in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. These are hostile neighbors to the USA. Russia is using these facilities to monitor US and use it to serve as close range for attacks on the US in case of war. And recently, Russia started romancing with Mexico (for same purpose) because Mexico has issues with the US. These thing between Russia and the US has been there long ago. It's called the Cold War. No be today e start, no be today e go end. You can make Research on these facts. I doubt if you can even do one. The fact remains that Russia is accusing The US of the crime they are very guilty of. And wait a minute, didn't Russia hack and interfere with US elections? Thirdly, many of you supporting Putin are likely knowing or hearing about him recently this year. Go and find out who Putin was as KGB Boss. Go and find out how he emerged as Russian President after Gorbachev. Go and find out how he has suppressed Russians and running an Automatic government and doing his 5th term as president and amending constitution to make himself life president. Is that a kind of person you people support? Like Hitler, like Putin. Fourthly, that Ukraine wants to join NATO is not an excuse for Putin to invade Ukraine and start a war. Ukraine is a sovereign state and free to join any Group. It's like saying Cameroon can't join any Group, and if they do, Nigeria will invade Cameroon. Ok, assuming joining NATO is a crime and Russia don't want Ukraine joining NATO, why not wait until she joins before the attack? Why attack before the alleged crime? Where is such lawlessness coming from in this time?? Go and read and learn more before coming to make silly defense. Russian has always wanted to attack and invade Ukraine to annex it. Russia under Putin already annexed part of Ukraine called Crimea in 2014. He still wants more. He is just using NATO as an excuse to do so. Let me lecture you a bit more. Putin wants regime change in Ukraine. It is not about any NATO. He wants to remove Zelensky and install Viktor Yanukovych back as President in Ukraine. That is his end game. Am very sure you don't know who Yanukovych is, or know any of the details I just gave u. You can't come arguing about issues you don't have history or facts about. If you want more facts on Russia and Ukraine, I can lecture u for free. Bottomline is that the issue is not about Ukraine joining NATO as most of you think. It is just a good ploy by Putin to foist regime change. |
Sagbggggg:Why don't you find work and do ![]() Stop spamming all threads with this your useless betting scam. If you have sure game, why don't you play and win the billions in peace Or give it to your father and mother to play and win. Does your parents know you are a scammer ?Fool. |
MERCHANDISER:What was Ukraine President supposed to tell his countrymen! Carry their bags and run away ![]() Didnt your government also tell you to arm yourself and defend yourselves from Invaders? You forget that one abi? Na Ukraine matter you dey rant your mouth. They should run away so that Putin will overrun Ukraine and annex it to Russia, That's what you all want. Hypocrites with wicked hearts. Putin will face war crimes soon. Continue to hail him. |
I fear South West these days. The rate at which they are killing innocent people for ritual money in South West is becoming alarming. No one is safe. South West - Ritual Killings South East -. Yahoo Yahoo plus + cultism. North - Banditary, BokoHaram and Terrorism. South South - Cultism. North Central - Witchcraft and voodooism These regions will even add other vices join their own. Nigeria is morally depraved. |
Adjovi:Russia does not want to harm civilians but they are bombing civilian residents and killing dozens ![]() If Russia are actually concerned about civilians, why don't they move their war out of Ukraine? Is Ukraine part of Russia? Havent been watching the news of civilian casualties? You will tell me CNN and BBC propaganda. But I have followed news on BBC, CNN, DW, Aljezeera, TV5, and even our local TVC channel. All news show Russia bombed civilian residents. What are u talking about by defending Russia. And did u say Ukrainians should run away as soon as possible? Run to where? Run and leave their Homeland, and come to your Nigeria? Why haven't you run away from Boko Haram and bandits invasion ![]() Why am I even wasting my time with you? Teenagers don full Nairaland. So many teenage talk without reasoning we dey hear now. |
learnedman:Fool's rant tastes sweet on foul lips. Wait till Bandits and Boko Haram raid your community, then u will understand the true meaning of the foolish thing you just typed. Ukraine didn't do Russia any wrong. Just as your community didn't do Bandits and BokoHaram any wrong and they attacked, and you complained about the attacks. Fools talk foolishly. |
Make them no mind OLoriburuku werey Putin. Imagine Putin saying that he has created escape corridors for civilians out of Ukraine, and all these corridors either leads into Russia or Belarus. The two enemy domains |
Slimdan360:The last time you checked, weren't you also aware that it was Putin that was invading Ukraine and not Zelensky invading Russia. And it was Putin that started the war by making the first shot. Am I right or wrong? |
E shock Putin. Even if Ukraine lose, They have proven to the world that they are not cowards to be bullied around. Next time Putin will think twice |
