I'd be nice if some people took time out to read the history of Ukraine, its independence, its eastern Russian majority regions, its nuclear weapons and their denuclearization before commenting here. Putin is seeking Russian expansion by declaring the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk independent states. Putin can be said to be taking back territories Russia 'gifted' Ukraine, just as it did when Crimea was annexed. If I were the Ukrainian president, I'd let Russia have those two territories without any hassles since majority of the populace there are ethnic Russians and pro- Russian as expected. After that I'd move to join Nato because evidently Putin cannot be trusted. Ukraine was guaranteed a peaceful co-existence with Russia before and after the denuclearization of the stockpile of Russian nukes in her possession. Thousands of nuclear arms were left on Ukrainian soil by Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. But in the years that followed, Ukraine made the decision to completely denuclearize. In exchange, the U.S., the U.K. and Russia would guarantee Ukraine’s security in a 1994 agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum. If Ukraine had those nukes, Putin would not have dared to invade a sovereign state. What is happening in Ukraine will have ripple effects around the world by emboldening leaders hung on territorial expansion to vigorously pursue their agendas. The craziest thing is that there's nothing in terms of war that the US., nor Nato can do about this situation because nobody wants a war with Russia - something that will lead to the inevitable death of millions of innocent people on all sides involved. May peace reign!

Germany can go to hell. The population of China is more than Europe. India is also a good friend of Russia. Power has shifted to Asia. America is finished

India and China are rivals with an ongoing border dispute therefore both countries are hardly on the same page. Another thing to consider is this: China WILL not go to war with America and NATO simply because she's friends with Putin because the stakes are too high because doing so would jeopardize her economy, and also damage her chances of becoming the largest economy in the world something President Xi wants to accomplish in his lifetime. China will defend her rights to unify Taiwan with the Motherland but they will not fight Putin's war. The most China will do is to buy Russia's gas, and probably provide some financial aids to Russia in the face of tough economic sanctions. The Chinese are not Putin's puppets!

Quite informative. Thanks for sharing it. I've been to cancer wards, and I know the pains cancer brings. I also know the pains chemotherapy brings. And the associated pains of partial / full mastectomy. And radiotherapy. May God heal our illnesses. Amen!

I was coming back last week and some robbers robbed me and cleared my account on gunpoint...haven't you been noticing I have emaciated..but baby I didn't want to tell you so you wouldn't think I am dodging all these your bills even as I'll love to assist you but it's fine...God will help me. All I need is prayers.


Must we teach you everything?

The words we say have the powers to come true. Be mindful of the words you say. Please! May you not be robbed by robbers, and may your account not be cleared out. Say Amen.

What is playing out is not entirely about NATO. Rather it is about Putin's desire to see the Soviet Union back because he's seen the political and ideological divisiveness in America with the Republicans and Democrats hardly agreeing on anything, and also the cracks in EU - the British backstabbing the French in weapons sales; the differences in ideologies, human rights, trade and even LGBTQ rights...And as it stands, the US. and NATO are not eager for a war with Russia because of the obvious catastrophe it would cause - nukes WILL be used and millions WILL die! And let's not forget that China is keenly watching the drama being played because if Putin succeeds in destabilizing Ukraine and causes it to implode on itself by arming the breakaway regions of Ukraine, China would take it as a precursor to attack Taiwan. I'm certain the Indians are equally watching the events in Ukraine, too, considering her borders disputes with China. And let's not forget Japan and other countries along the the disputed China sea region. The ramifications of the Ukraine crisis will be felt around the world. May diplomacy win. May we not see war!

This is dangerous! A light shove would send a person flying under a fast moving train. Can't the market be moved elsewhere? Why put people's lives in danger?

Hmm thanks for checking it out,how is China? I never been to China , I have been to hong kong,(beautiful place) south korea,Bangkok and south africa. Will tour Singapore China, japan and Australia next year.

China's beautiful. Do visit when China opens up her borders for international travelers because there's a lot to see here. I've been to all the countries on your list save for Australia. When you visit China, do visit the Special Administrative Region of Macau (the Las Vegas of the East) which is sandwiched between Mainland China and the S.A.R of Hong Kong. Stay awesome!

I enjoyed reading your 'travelogue'. Short, precise, with pictures ( though not many) and no boring details. I love travelling, and taking to the skies, too. Twale from China!

They are just using her to publicize the mediocre movie for free.
I am sure it is one mumu irrelevant role she was even given.

No be everybody wey get money get sense.

Not cool, man! Not cool at all! Be happy for her so that people will be happy for you whenever you have something to be happy about.

Don't you love Nigerians for their penchant for discussing 'potential' wars between America vs China -Russia? I wish Nigerians would use the same energy they expend on US-China-Russia topics to call their leaders and politicians to the cataclysmic failures beleaguering the country called Nigeria.

Why are they dressed like Fulanis ?

Because Auchi has a large Muslim population.

Tinubu has gone to recharge his battery!

Amen! You, too.

Na kpekus spread like turkey like that? That gym instructor na total pervert.

The stupidity of some Nigerians is irreversible! Blaming Okoye for Nigeria's loss while unsurprisingly forgetting about the brilliant saves he made in previous matches. Bunch of wankers!

The lottery of birth is the most important lottery a person will ever win. Anyone born in the North as a child to the almajiris, life don score you final.

Being black is not that bad, but being poor is.

The emboldened off me, I swear! It's funny, and at the same time sad that that's how it is! Being black sometimes means one has to work harder to prove oneself especially when one is working with non-blacks. It's energy sapping.

swaggerjack:

Deep!

Na the life wey we see! That was why I japa when I could. No regrets so far!

Raalsalghul:


Eggzactly, you catch the drift.

Naijas can coin words sha! I applied for a Singapore visa with my wife and daughter, and we were told both wifey and daughter would be granted 2 years multiple entry visas and I'd get 1 month single entry visa because of my 9ja passort. Shame cover my face! Life no balance!

Raalsalghul:




Bro wetin person go do.

Life I've come to realize is very random: very very random.

It's a meaningless entity if you ask me and people just ascribe patterns to it to make it at least tolerable and livable.

You might get it good or bad and that's why I'm very preachy and sanctimonious regarding how people reproduce.

Imagine the current state of Nigeria with the crop of leaders we have, imagine its future yet folks being aware of these scenarios are still birthing.

Gone are the days I celebrate the birth of a child most especially after observing the family background, environment and other factors.

Is it a child born in an IDP camp you go celebrate for?

I swear ehn, the matter don make me turn Anti Natalist.

To buttress my point, go through below thread;

https://www.nairaland.com/6942012/tired-wife

Chances are those triplets will have it tough in that family unless a miracle happens.

Hmm! 'Local man' most often than not finds it difficult to fathom why there's no equilibrium in life. One is advantaged simply by being in a prosperous country, while another is utterly disadvantaged by being born in a poor country. Neither of them chose where they were born in; life dealt them the hand it chose. In spite of how unequal life appears to treat us, those of us who are already grown should do everything legally possible to ensure of kids don't get born on the wrong side of the aisle. And I did just that!

That bastard should be fed to hungry lions. He doesn't deserve a day in court. Death to all kidnappers,bandits, terrorists, ritualists masquerading as yahoo boys.

An uncouth wretch with a most-fleeting, undeserved fame as was with other upstarts before him e.g. Mr. Spellz; the laughing Ghanaian cab driver; the 600-years-of-suffering pastor and other talentless dingbats who have returned to the eventless obscurity from whence the emerged.

All these adjectives ontop Portable! My head dey spin! Abeg free the guy. Na him time. Everybody get him time to shine. Life na turn by turn.

I swear life no balance sam, sam! Born as a black person life don score you one already. Born black into a poor family, life don score you two. Born as a black African life don score you three. Born into a poor Nigerian family, life don score you ten !Hmm!

I love the photos! Keep them coming! I'd love to visit there. Please, pardon my asking, how safe is it travelling there? See tourism money lying waste☹☹

Thanks for sharing!

For this new year fa! When some Nigerians go get sense? Keep arguing amongst yourselves while the world moves on.

Shanghai is the priced jewel of China. It is the most European-ish city in China. It's also home to some of the most expensive real estates in China! A visit to the Bund is a most for visitors to Shanghai. In my opinion, Shanghai is way more beautiful, clean and cosmopolitan than Beijing.

NLandIsHypocrit:
America has been reduced to almost nothing under forbidden administration. Did anything like this happen during Trump without consequences? America is like Nigeria now but on a different and higher level.

Balderdash! Abeg go sleep! So Americans are above the law? What consequences were/are you expecting? If the American diplomat truly committed the alleged crime, then he should be prosecuted in accordance with Turkish laws.

Speaking based on experience as a phone Photographer. Some don't maintain the camera. U need to clean the surface of ur phone camera regularly. Don't make it expose to dust. And also b4 u take a shot. Tap where u want ur focus so as to get a clear and sharp shot. Pictures below are recent pics taken with my Tecno spark 4 I av been using since sep last year. Still as sharp as new

You're absolutely right.

Too many children and adult-children on this forum! Too many ridiculous comments here. Little wonder nobody takes blacks seriously. It is sad some people do not seem to understand that UK makes far much money from Nigeria than Nigeria makes from the UK. I stand with FG on the proposed ban. The ban should be enacted ASAP.
