Its funny when i read and see men here complain about a so called girl they call girlfriend abi fiance of cheating or misbehaving .

Now let me open your inner eyes.

An Average Nigeria girl fund her life and expenses by sleepin with different men as long as long as they will give her money. Do u know most of these girls fvk more than 5 men a day , the more men they fvk is the money they have to pay there bil so mr man get dat into your head. Check her job or business if it can fund her life style and the answer is no.

Your serious girlfriend in lagos is an olosho In Abuja. That girl u save her number as my Love. Another man also saved her number as my dik suker.

So men should wake up and face reality that Nigeria girls trade sex for a Living.

If the girls are oloshos then the boys are ashana because it takes two to tango.The Olosho women are a reflection of the Randy,Hot,promiscuous men in the Nigerian society who lure women with money for sexual favours.Sometimes women are like children,you lure with sweets to do something for you.
I think the govt needs to adopt Swedish Law where the randy men are arrested instead of the prostitutes.

Germany asked Poland to stop sending trains with Ukrainian refugees

Berlin asked Warsaw to stop sending trains with Ukrainian refugees to Germany. This was announced on March 14 on the air of the Polish TV channel TVN24 Deputy Interior Minister of Poland Pavel Shefernaker.

As he explained, the scale of forced migrants from Ukraine took the countries of Europe by surprise.

“Last night I spoke with the German Interior Ministry, where we were asked to suspend special trains that go to Germany, because there is already a bottleneck situation there,” he said in an interview with a journalist.

The deputy minister noted that 28,000 people left Poland by train in three days. 1.5 million Ukrainians remain in the country.

“We must all support each other, I count on this European solidarity,” Schäfernaker stressed.

On March 12, the French authorities announced that more than 10,000 Ukrainians had entered the country. The country can accept no more than 25 thousand people.

On March 6, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in total, more than 1.2 million refugees have arrived in the territory of the EU countries since the start of the military operation in Ukraine. Most of the refugees are in border countries, including Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and Moldova. It is noted that over 1 million people arrived in Poland alone.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, the authorities of Great Britain and the United States also declared their readiness to accept refugees.

In early March, it became known that the Czech Cabinet would support its citizens who provide refugees with housing. They will receive 1,000 crowns (about €40) for five months. As of March 4, about 30,000 refugees from Ukraine have already arrived in the country.

The situation in Donbass escalated significantly in mid-February due to shelling by the Ukrainian military. The authorities of the DPR and the Lugansk People’s Republic announced the evacuation of residents to the Russian Federation. On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree recognizing the independence of the republics, as well as treaties of friendship and mutual assistance.

Russia launched an operation to protect the civilian population of Donbass on February 24. The Russian side emphasized that it does not hatch plans for the occupation of Ukraine, and strikes are carried out only on the military infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

CatANDratTHEORY:
He claimed that there's no heaven and hell but contradicted himself by saying that heaven is on earth.

He's kinda confused.

If heaven is on earth, then where is hell?

Hell is in Africa while heaven is in Developed nations.The first time you enter Europe ,you go think says you don enter Paradise.

Nearly a year after France's immigrant suburbs erupted in weeks of race riots, they are still explosive. But Indigènes has added a new, positive twist to the desperate situation of the banlieues. For one thing, Jamel Debbouze, the best known star in the film, is stunning proof that minorities can succeed in France. He is the son of Moroccan immigrants - a cleaning lady and a sweeper in the Paris metro.

Debbouze dropped out of school at 14, is only 1.65 metres tall, weighs 50 kilos and has a gimpy right arm from an accident on the train tracks. But he became a successful comic, then moved on to the cinema with the hugely successful Amélie and Astérix and Obélix. Now he's the highest-paid actor in France, and a friend of King Mohamed VI of Morocco.

When Indigènes was released, the Nouvel Observateur, France's leading weekly, put Debbouze on its cover, against the background of a French tricolour, with the headline "Why I love France." Now a multi-millionaire, Debbouze helped finance Indigènes.

Through Bouchareb's research, he learned that his grandfather fought with the French army. He says the film is about reconciliation, not recrimination. "You must understand that you have a shared history with France," he recently told a young cinema audience in a Paris banlieue. "You are legitimate in this country, whether you're black, brown, yellow . . ."

[right][/right]FRANCE: Following a screening of 'Indigènes' Jacques Chirac decreed Arab and African veterans w ould receive equal pensions, writes Lara Marlowe, in Paris.

In Rachid Bouchareb's magnificent new film Indigènes, a French colonel in command of Arab and black African soldiers from the colonies refers to his "indigenous" troops. "Don't call them that, Sir," pleads the pied-noir (north African of European origin) sergeant in charge of the unit.

"Muslim soldiers," the colonel corrects himself. "Don't call them that either," the sergeant persists. "So what should I call them?" asks the increasingly annoyed colonel. "Call them men, Sir," replies the sergeant.

Indigènes follows four Arab infantrymen from their recruitment in the north African bled (backlands) in 1943 to the battle of Monte Cassino, Provence and Alsace. When the film was shown last month at the Toronto film festival, critics compared it to a Hollywood movie. The battle scenes are incredibly realistic; the plot moves quickly.

More than 300,000 Arabs and Africans fought for France in the second World War; tens of thousands were killed. The colonial army had been fighting France's wars for more than a century, since the zouaves (Algerian Kabyles), were created in 1830.

Moroccan spahis, Senegalese tirailleurs and Saharan méharistes and goumiers followed, fighting in two World Wars. In 1916, 70,000 Muslim infantrymen died for France in the Battle of Verdun alone.

But until the five male leads in Bouchareb's film won a joint award for best actor at this year's Cannes Film Festival, the sacrifice of Arab and African soldiers was largely forgotten.

Amnesia affected indigènes and French alike. For many of the colonised, having fought to save France, was a source of embarrassment. And the French put far more emphasis on the Normandy landings than the August 1944 landing in Provence by the Army of Africa.

At the beginning of 1945, Gen Charles de Gaulle cashiered 20,000 tirailleurs Sénégalais with the express purpose of "whitening" the French army. Director Rachid Bouchareb, the son of Algerian immigrants, spent many years researching Indigènes, his fifth feature film.

It chronicles the discrimination suffered by "indigenous" troops: inferior rations, lower pay, no leave, the near impossibility of promotion.

In a particularly enraging moment, French soldiers finally arrive in an Alsatian village that north African troops have defended against the Germans, at a great cost in lives.

Abdel Kader, brilliantly played by Sami Bouajila, is not allowed to speak to the colonel who promised him a promotion. A camera crew films white soldiers being greeted by villagers whose liberation is unfairly attributed to them.

Bouchareb based every incident in the film on archive material. "I have photographs of [ French] officers watching through binoculars as the indigenous infantry are massacred, of sandals in the snow - the French relied totally on the American army for supplies, and shoes for Moroccan goumiers were not a high priority," he told Libération newspaper.

In a turning point, Abdel Kader stamps a crate of tomatoes to a pulp after Arab soldiers are told they're reserved for Frenchmen. It really happened, Bouchareb says. Likewise, when Messaoud (Roschdy Zem) exchanges love letters with Irène, the white Frenchwoman he met in Provence, military censors destroy their outpourings, for the sake of the post-war social order. Discrimination continued in peacetime. In 1959, the French government froze pensions for non-French soldiers in the colonial army. An African veteran who sued the French government died before the Council of State ruled in 2001 that non-French veterans should receive equal pensions.

But when the Jospin government realised the price of justice for veterans would be €1.83 billion, it opted to pay "equitable" rather than "equal" pensions - indexed to prices where the soldiers were living.

At present, a French veteran receives €690 per month, a Senegalese €230, a native of Cameroun €140 and a Moroccan or Tunisian €61.

President Jacques Chirac and his wife Bernadette attended a private showing of Indigènes, after which Ms Chirac reportedly told her husband, "Jacques, you have to do something!" As the film opened in 500 cinemas across France last week, the government announced that henceforward, 80,000 surviving Arab and African second World War veterans will receive equal pensions. The questions of benefits for widows and retroactive payments have not been resolved.

Don't talk wat you don't know. This is a national assignment. He will receive the money meant for his level. All documentation will be waived.

Stop saying what you don't know. Makes you sound dumber. The ongoing war is costing each country millions of $ and your view of banks not working is just childish. Please rest

Go to Ukraine and see for yourself.You are the dumb one if you dont know.I lived with Europeans and know how they think unless you lived with them before then you can counter my arguements.Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Did you know during the Ww2 black soldiers were not allowed to eat eggs because it was reserved for French soldiers? Arabs,Indians and blacks died for Europe during Ww2,what benefits did they get from it? Racism and discrimination till this day.

oldtruth:
Who told you that? Who told you salaries will be paid based on race? They will take salary meant for their level. Do you think he is going there as labourer?

That is how Europeans pay in such situations.For example Filipino sailors get paid less than Norweigian counterpart despite working on the same ship.
The Nigerian volunteers will be paid less because they are from Africa and doesnt hold a valid work permit or EU passport.Volunteer is a free job without pay.
I wonder how they will even get the money when all banks are closed in Ukraine.

Benoît used to run a company importing French wine, and champagne in particular, to Ukraine. He was in the Donbas region with his Ukrainian wife when the conflict began in 2014 but has since relocated back home to France.

“I have [soldier] friends in Mariupol. The city is encircled by the Russians. They say to me, ‘Look after my children’," if they don't come back.

In recent days a friend of his in the Ukrainian army was killed during the Russian bombings in Kharkiv.

“I’m more useful here in France,” he says. “I’m not a soldier, my friends over there know how to fight. I know how to do logistics. But in my heart, I want to go."

"It’s eating me up inside," Benoît says. "But I have a wife, I’m a father. I have responsibilities.”

We hope to arrive in time’: From soldiers to doctors, French volunteers head to Ukraine.
As France evacuates its citizens from Ukraine, FRANCE 24 spoke to some French nationals who are heading in the opposition direction. A former soldier and an intensive care doctor reveal why they plan to enter the war zone while a nurse and a logistics expert explain how they are organising to send medical supplies to Ukraine later this week.

“I really don’t know what awaits me. I’ve never experienced a real war.” Aurélien (not his real name) is a former soldier in the French army and a hospital porter who feels he could be useful to the Ukrainian resistance. He plans to leave his home in northern France, with at least one other French volunteer, and drive to Ukraine via Poland this week.

“I want to go there for obvious reasons. For freedom and peace. What’s happening now in 2022 goes against all progress. Kyiv must hold out, and they need us. We hope to arrive in time to support the resistance.”

He learned how to use a firearm when he was a soldier but “it’s my years of working in a hospital emergency services department that will be helpful”, he says. As a hospital porter, Aurélien honed his first aid skills and was responsible for safely transporting patients and medical equipment within the hospital. “Still, I think we have to be ready for anything.”


The 30-year-old will be leaving France without any military equipment and does not have any contacts on the ground in Ukraine.

“First, we want to meet with the Ukrainian resistance, and I think the rest will follow.”

Ukraine’s ‘International Legion’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday announced the creation of an "International Legion" for foreign military volunteers. The Ukrainian government is in the process of creating a similar structure for medical volunteers. “Why not?” responds Aurélien, when asked if he plans to join. “I’ve emailed the Ukrainian embassy in Paris to let them know I’d like to volunteer.”

But Aurélien could find himself turned away at the border since he does not have a passport. He hopes his French ID card will suffice.

Dr Arsène Sabanieev, a Franco-Ukrainian doctor who works at an intensive care unit in Lille, has set up a Facebook group for would-be medical volunteers. He says people in Aurélien’s position should present themselves physically, with their identification cards and proof of military training, at the Ukrainian embassy in Paris to receive special authorisation to cross the border. “It’s impossible to get through to the embassy, they’re overwhelmed. The only option is to go in person,” he says.

They’ll be on their own’

Dr Sabanieev’s Facebook group, Volontaires français Soignants en Ukraine (French Medical Volunteers in Ukraine), is growing fast.

“I’ve told those who want to go that they will not have any insurance, that they’ll be going in a personal capacity only, the [French] embassy won’t be behind them. If someone gets shot, they’ll be on their own. It’s very risky.”

Dr Sabanieev was born in Kyiv but moved to France with his mother when he was 10 years old. He plans to travel to Ukraine this weekend and is already in contact with the ministry of defence.

“I’ve been a Ukrainian patriot since I was 15. Becoming a doctor was my way of helping my country. But I could never have known that we would find ourselves in this situation.”

A friend has lent him a van, which he’s in the process of filling with the medical equipment and supplies he will need once he arrives.

He’s apprehensive, and says his French wife doesn’t want him to leave. “But she understands,” he says.

“It’s battlefield medicine, and I’m not trained for that. But I’ve done some emergency services work, I know first aid. I can use a firearm, but I’m going there as a doctor. I help by saving lives.”

‘You can’t go on your own, with your eyes closed’

Valerie, an intensive-care nurse with experience of humanitarian work overseas, changed her mind about travelling to Ukraine when she realised she would have to go without any insurance or support from official French institutions or government agencies.

“[French Foreign Minister] Jean-Yves Le Drian is trying to get all the French people inside Ukraine out. I’ve spoken to the humanitarian associations I’ve worked with in the past – not a single one is going to Ukraine. There’s a reason for that: it’s a war zone and it’s extremely dangerous. Tragedies will be added to the Ukrainian tragedies already taking place.”

Still keen to help, Valerie is instead collecting donations of medicine from the pharmacy of the hospital where she works. She plans to liaise with an association experienced in transporting medical supplies to Ukraine.

“I would have liked to go on a convoy transporting medicine. I think I could be useful. But having at least some structure is crucial. You can’t go on your own, with your eyes closed.”

‘I’m not a soldier … but in my heart, I want to go’

Benoît set up an association, French & Ukrainians Supporting Army, during the violence in the Donbas region in 2014. In recent weeks, he has reactivated the group. He collects donations from individuals in Europe and the United States to buy medical supplies online that he sends to soldiers in Ukraine.

“We have a lorry leaving on Thursday or Friday this week, with medical supplies inside (compression bandages, Celox, tourniquets…). The driver is Ukrainian. Next week a lorry will leave with protective equipment for soldiers. I do not traffic arms, there will be no lethal weapons.”

Penguin2:
Don’t mind their stupidity.

It simply shows they are not yet in crisis.

When they are finally in crisis, they’d look for men to recruit that would be paid $1000 per hour.

Volunteers wanna fight for u and u are talking thrash.

Volunteer means free service in Europe.Volunteer is not a paid job.

ekob99:
War wey we never even sure if Ukraine go fit survive Russia onslaught for 1 month nai person go pay $1000 go fight for them with the promise of $3000 unseen allowee...

What if as you reach there, Russian conquer the whole Ukraine the next day turn every soldier to prisoner of war?

Did you consider that option too?

Where the allawee wan come,banks are closed in Ukraine.

No... He will still be paid $7,000 or $3,300 depending on his experience per month.

The only issue here is Nigeria. I wonder what will become of this country? Just too bad for living

Europeans will be paid the $7,000 while Africans and other low class will be paid $3,300 or less.

European gas prices hit record high as Russia supply fears grow

Despite Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, gas deliveries from Russia to Europe through its various pipelines have so far remained largely unchanged.

European and British gas prices soared on Wednesday, with a benchmark Dutch gas price hitting a record high as countries said European Union sanctions against Russia could target gas shipments, while some cargos of Russian liquefied gas changed course.

The United Kingdom on Monday ordered that Russian-associated vessels be blocked from its ports, while officials from some EU countries have said the 27-country bloc is considering a ban on Russian ships.

The European Parliament on Tuesday called for the EU to close its ports to Russian ships or ships going to or from Russia.

Although the Parliament does not set sanctions and its vote on Tuesday was nonbinding, traders said it showed the direction of travel for possible tightening of measures against Russia, which supplies around 40 percent of the EU bloc’s natural gas.


Not all countries get supply directly from Russia, but if countries such as Germany, the biggest consumer of Russian gas, receive less from Russia, they must replace this from elsewhere, for instance, Norway, which has a knock-on effect on available gas for other countries.

The benchmark Dutch front-month gas contract at the TTF hub hit a record intraday high of $205 (185 euros) a tonne on Wednesday – just beating the previous high of $204 (184.95 euros), seen last December when Russian flows through the major Yamal pipeline began sending gas eastwards in reverse.


The UK front-month contract hit 384 pence a therm, its second-highest ever level amid reports Russian cargos of liquefied natural gas were being diverted away from UK ports.

“The price move today is not based on fundamental changes to the European gas balances,” said Leon Izbicki, European natural gas analyst at Energy Aspects.

“The main driver behind the sharp rise in the TTF is a perceived increase in the risk of European sanctions targeting Russian energy exports,” he said.

Despite the ongoing war in Ukraine, physical deliveries of gas from Russia to Europe through its various pipelines have so far remained largely unchanged.

Even gas deliveries coming from Russia via pipelines through Ukraine have remained robust. Capacity nominations for supply to Slovakia from Ukraine via the Velke Kapusany border point were expected to hit their highest level so far in 2022, at 881,917 megawatt hours on Wednesday.

But traders and analysts said that as the war and sanctions escalate, so do the possibilities that this could change, which is causing the huge price gains.

“With the potential supply disruption from Russia reverberating throughout the European energy market, volatile energy prices are likely to continue for the foreseeable future,” said Craig Lowrey, senior consultant at Cornwall Insight.

RUSSIA, UKRAINE, AND THE EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILERS.

By RÈMÍ OYÈYEMÍ

The emotional and sentimental dishonesty of those who see Russia and Vladimir Putin as the aggressor is just amazing. The act is not only gratuitous, it is preposterous. It is nauseating. It is incredibly absurd.

These emotionally and sentimentally dishonest sympathizers of the West believe, hook, line and sinker, all the garbage that the West is serving on this matter without proper understanding of History of invasions of Russia by others throughout its history. They lap up the demonization of a gentleman, a patriot and a reliable defender of his people in Vladimir Putin. They disregarded the efforts of Putin to meet the West in the middle, to negotiate, to secure his country and his people.

These emotional and sentimental hypocrites are doomsday analysts to whom fairness is tantamount to other people's destruction. Their analyses are isolating of other eminently relevant variables and done from a suffocating prism. The narrowness of their prism cuts off history and anthropology. It cuts off security concern of the Russians. It projected the greed of the West and their destructive expansionism. It cuts off reason and logic. To their genre, this crisis has no antecedents. And if it does, we should ignore them.

They are emotional blackmailers. They are fake human rights groups being sponsored by the West. They are the diabolical Red Cross organizations being spoonfed by the West. They are the sentimental carpetbaggers and emotional scallywags.They are shedding crocodile tears for the consciously stupid Ukrainians why marinating in their cocoon of falsehood, cinctured from the essential fundamentals of balance, fairness, equity and mutual existential survival as well as peace for all.

These sentimental and emotional blackmailers, unashamedly dishonest and diabolical were nowhere to be found when Iraqis, falsely accused, were being murdered and their land was being annihilated. They had no humane feelings for the Iraqis as if they are less human. Now they want us to sympathize with Ukrainian dog who chose to poke a tiger in the nose.

The latter day human rights activists, showcasing with ghoulish gusto, their double standard, were nowhere to be found when Libya, one of the most developed countries in the world in terms of economic prosperity, was being bombed into antiquity by the rapacious and avaricious West. They cooked up lies and demonized Moammar Gaddafi like they are doing to Putin now. Yes, the West comprising the USA and its NATO nitwits.

Where were those demonizing Russia and Putin, when the USA invaded Grenada and changed a duly democratically elected government to the one they favoured in October 1983? It was okay because it was in the interest of the U.S.A. The fact is that this one in Ukraine is in Russia's interest. Russians have every right to overthrow the subsisting government in Ukraine and install the one that catches its fancy.

On September 11, 1953, the Americans overthrew a democratically elected Iranian Government. They claim they are advocates of "democracy" but always have sinister agenda. They supported the autocratic Shah Reza Pahlavi until he was overthrown by the Iranian 1979 Revolution. Now, they have the gut in their hypocrisy and dishonesty to complain about Russia and Putin trying to protect their fatherland.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was a Pakistani barrister and politician who served as the ninth Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1973 to 1977, and prior to that as the fourth President of Pakistan from 1971 to 1973. He was also the founder of the Pakistan People's Party and served as its chairman until he was murdered in 1979 by the American sponsored junta led by General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. Henry Kissinger as the American Secretary of State made it clear to Ali Bhutto this would happen to him in a private conversation if he refused to tow American line. And it did . And now the emotional blackmailers are calling Putin and Russia the "aggressors"!

Dag Carl Hammarskjöld was a Swedish economist and diplomat who served as the second Secretary-General of the United Nations from April 1953 until his death in a plane crash in September 1961. He masterminded the kidnapping and murder of Patrice Lumumba on the orders of the West. There was bloodshed in Congo Brazzaville then. No one pitied the Congolese. They were not humans and now they want us to shed years for the Ukrainians.

The Americans and their allies sponsored the coup that removed the great Osagyefo, Kwameh Nkrumah from power to be replaced by visionless military junta led by Col. A. A. Afrifa who did the bidding of the West. Nkrumah was deposed in February 1966 for sympathizing with the people of Rhodesia (modern Zimbabwe) by the National Liberation Council, under whose supervision, international financial institutions privatized many of the country's state corporations.They were never concerned by the welfare and the fate of Ghanaians. Now they want us to sympathize with Ukrainians.

In 1987, France sponsored Blaise Compare to murder Thomas Sankara and delayed the movement to glory of Burkina Faso, the land of dignified men. It was not a crime then. And President Putin intervention in Ukraine could not be a crime too. Malians have just chased out the French men from their land in order to be free.

Charles de Gaulle, the French President had in 1958 offered Francophone countries to choose between outright independence and joining a federal arrangement under France. Sekou Toure and his people chose independence. Guinea was the only Francophne county to do then. The French reacted by recalling all their professional people and civil servants and by removing all transportable equipment including paper clips. The intention was to bring Guinea to its knees. It was Kwameh Nkrumah and Russia that came to Guinea's rescue.

They kept Nelson Mandela in jail for 27 years. They kept Miriam Makeba out of South Africa for several decades and would not even allow her to bury her mother. They turned her into an itinerant musician. The massacre in Soweto, Pretoria and other parts of South Africa occurred . The US, Great Britain and all the Scandinavian countries never gave a thought to the dehumanizing conditions of South Africans. They supported apartheid all through and through,until it was beyond their control. The Ukrainians' sympathizers of today were nowhere to be found to tell us of the human price that South Africans were paying.

Sam Nujoma, another carpenter like our Lord Jesus Christ, had to fight the West to free his Namibian people. The West had ridiculed him at the beginning, calling him an illiterate, an ordinary carpenter. But unfortunately for them, his people believed in him. They bought his gospel of freedom and liberty. The Russians supported him as well as Nigeria. Today, by the grace of almighty God, Namibians are free.

Robert Mugabe, (may his valiant soul rest in perfect peace), had to deal with the shenanigans of the West over the land of his people. They demonized him and called him all sorts of names because he frustrated their greed. They put their foolish sanctions on Zimbabwe, trying to bring him down and never spared a thought for Zimbabweans. He never gave up. He stood his ground till the end. Russia also offered its support. Those shedding tears for Ukrainians were nowhere to be found to tell us the effects of those pernicious sanctions on ordinary people of Zimbabwe.

When the US and its allies nuclear-bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the U.S. didn't think of women, children and the vulnerable. The U.S. did not think of the human cost. They did not think of the implications of their actions to humanity. They followed the First Law of Nature, which is SELF-PRESERVATION. Those who are hypocritically crying for Ukrainians were nowhere to be found to cry for the Japanese then.

Do we want to continue by recalling the perfidy of the West against Sylvanus Onlympio of Togo? Or Salvador Allende of Chile, democratically elected by his people? Or the Bay of Pigs invasion against Fidel Castro's Cuba sponsored by American President John F. Kennedy in April 1961? Or the assassination of the Guyanese Waler Rodney by the Americans in 1980? Even the American citizens were so ashamed of their Government's atrocities that they had to force the U.S. Congress to ban the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to stop assassinating foreign leaders!

The West, as Nelson Mandela pointed out, has no right to be the policeman of the World. The West could intimidate those of us who are small countries. They are not in position to tell Russia not to defend itself against West's greed and domination. If they are so peeved, let them declare WAR against Russia and let us see how it would turn out.

I am not a Pastor or Reverend. Neither am I a Mallam or Sheik. I am not among those who claim God speaks to them on daily basis. I have no idea what tomorrow portends on this Ukrainian crisis.

But one thing I know for certain is that if the USA, NATO and the EU countries fail to get to the table quick enough to save Ukraine, if they insist on belligerence against Russia, it may lead to a full scale war. In the course of this war, Ukraine would be damaged beyond recognition and all the rest of the parties would pay heavy prices that have never been witnessed before in human history. It would be a kind of war that the world has never seen. It would be mother of all wars from which Europe would not recover from, for the next 50 years at least, with serious consequences for the world economy.

While the WEST would be able to inflict serious damages on Russia, the USA on the other hand, and in particular, would witness for the first time on its own land, and in its history, a nuclear devastation on its Eastern and Western coasts, if Russia upped the game. I am sure the elites in Washington DC do not want that. For Western Europe, it would be another turn of another set of tragedies which would benefit no one.

Putin does not need to occupy Ukraine. He should continue to shell Ukraine ceaselessly while arming the Eastern Ukrainians who are uncompromisingly pro-Russia. His focus should not just be the Western Ukrainian infrastructure, it should be their economic power houses to bring them to their knees and send serious warnings to others who might be contemplating such foolishness.

It is important that the same rules are applied across the planet. The same principles should suffice. What goes for "The Monroe Doctrine" in the American hemisphere should, without any inhibition or putrid holier-than-thou exudation, go for "The Czarina Catherina Doctrine" which I have chosen to call "The Putin Doctrine" in the Russian hemisphere. The generality of Americans and Europeans should wake up and smell the coffee. They should read their own history and get off the horse of hypocrisy and dishonesty.

If Putin is thinking like me, he should ask for the compulsory removal of all the countries sharing borders with Russia that are in NATO from the organization. He should show glaring hostility to them and destabilize them economically and militarily. He should put them under perpetual surveillance. He needs no war against them. History records the machinations of the U.S.A. against Cuba for several decades. Time to be courteous to the West has gone. It is time to face the Western bullies.

Beautifully, the propaganda machines of the West have serious challenges. The Fox News, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, SkY BBC, New York Times, The Guardian of London, Washington Post et al are in serious trouble. They are no longer the only sources of information. The information age is here. Whatever falsehood they put out on Putin would only suffice temporarily and could be countered in a smooth way across the planet. And within a very short time.

Vladimir Putin is a courageous man. He is a reasonable patriot. He is a Man of Peace. He has always been ready to negotiate equitably. He is calling the bluff of the bullies. The fact that he has refused to be pushed around does not make him a demon. He has every right to defend his fatherland. His principles of fairness and balance are what our world needs.

Nah, they ain't foolish. They are just trying to use the free ticket to escape from poverty in Nigeria. The moment they land in Ukraine, the next place you'll see them is at the border trying to cross to the next country and start their lives there

Once they land in Ukraine,they cant escape from the military.Deserting is a death sentence in the West at war time.Many American deserters from Iraq war hide in other countries because going back to death means execution/Imprisonment.

Overdo de worry is Africans!
See their yeye teeth, them no go call am black monkey now because they r desperate to win the war, after that they will remember our colour is different from theirs. In as much as I support Ukraine in this war, Ukraine and Russia are the most deadly racists ever known so let them war their war and die their die. If this is African war do u think Ukraine can volunteer?

Masters never volunter to die for their slaves.only slaves die for their masters.

Foolish Africans ready to die for their blue eyed slave master.They should understand that deserting a war scene is punishable by death in Ukraine.

Karlovych:
Only about ten out of the 5000 Nigerians in those countries will board that plane to go back to Nigeria.

They are currently comfortable in Poland, Hungary and Romania.

Once the war is over they'll go back to Ukraine to complete their studies.

This is not true.Poland,Romania and hungary will never give Africans residence to stay in their country.They will be packed in one dirty camp where 10 people will share a toilet like face me i slap you house.The food is also terrible no pepper like we are used to.Can you eat Rice and Youghurt with chicken no soup.

Foolish Africans ready to die for their blue eyed slave master.They should understand that deserting a war scene is punishable by death in Ukraine.

Nice one! it will make sense to have functional seaports in other coastal cities as well. RIVERS, AKWA IBOM, ANAMBRA ETC.

Tell your Governors to do the same in your states.Sanwo olu no get two heads.

Bravetunde:
Any day that happens,count ss/se out.
Let the afonjas go and fight for nigeria.after all they are heavily benefiting from one Nigeria.
See lagos, everything is concentrated there upon the traffic and road block still they can't allow some of the things to move them to the blessed ss/se.
Very greedy backstabbetrs

Are your leaders in the East deaf and dumb that cannot advocate for such infrastructure to be put in place?

Why must you attack your rich neighbour for giving his children the best he can offer because your dad dont give a dam about you.

Stop blaming Yorubas for backwardness of your region,blame your useless and selfish leaders who take allocation and do nothing only to buy houses in Yorubaland.

Yorubas no send una like Ukraine.Every nation must fight for its people.In Yorubaland,it is Yoruba first,Igboland,Igbos first enugo.

Investigative:
1966-70 they came hard on US not minding we are sovereign region recognized by Nigeria constitution to pursue their political interest

Western region
Northern Region
Eastern region
Were all equal in 1966
So why did the rest of Nigeria Invade an equal political setting

Why did people from your region kill regional leaders on the other side?That was a declaration of war in itself.
You can imagine if a polish citizen kill Putin/Biden,all the poles in that country will be killed,maimed or jailed.
That is the greatest disrespect to a nation.
