Of course the US controlled media controls the narrative. Do not be surprised seeing some Nigerians in support of a US/NATO fueled war. All the aforementioned examples are not ancient, but rather text book geopolitical realities of similar scenarios. We did not see such Nigerians criticizing the US and saying Cuba is sovereign. The only guarantee for peace is to prepare for war-Bush jnr. Mind you, Putin did all in his best diplomacy to avoid war, presented draft security proposals to both US and NATO, the encroaching powers which were rebuffed. No one criticized the US for the rebuttal. Well deal with it. The battle is already in Kiev. It is only a matter of time before Kiev falls. Have you seen how the western media makes it look like the Russians are on the losing side of the war even when the battle for the capital is already raging? They won’t even tell you Russia paused the assault for over 12 hours to enable diplomacy and negotiations which zelensky has again rejected. The battle is slower in kiev simply because urban warfare needs care to mitigate against civilian casualties not because Kiev has mounted a credible challenge as is been reported by the western media. At the end of this war, the ultimate losers would be Ukrainians and Russians, but Russia would have achieved its aim. Kiev would be left in ruins and would still never join NATO( ask Georgia), Russian economy would take a beating, Kiev would pay for war reparations as the losing side, in due time, there would be negotiations and sanctions would be rolled back, new peace deals signed, aims still achieved. The fool in all these us zelensky, he has set his country back 30 years infrastructurally. Some would say western nations would pump in funds for rebuilding, how far has the Iraqi rebuild gone? The last I heard, it’s rebuilding funds are enmeshed in so much corruption.

I like your analysi

True talk, many simply will never understand. But Putin was choice less. Once the US starts poaching and inciting your neighbors, they won’t stop. They purposely hardened zelensky to rebuff negotiations. Zelensky won his election on two slogans, to implement peace in the donbass with the rebels and Russia and secondly to fight corruption. So what changed when he ascended. Suddenly he did not want the Minsk agreement anymore. He did not want to negotiate with the break away regions anymore, he did not want to negotiate with Russia anymore. The questions should be, what changed? Putin was simply confronted with fait acompli

In my opinion, I believe only the president of Ukraine can end this war by raising the white flag. He has to understand that in an invasion, the battle is taking place in his country, the lives of his citizens are on the line, the infrastructures in his country are being destroyed which will take years to build back.
As Putin said, the president of Ukraine is the pawn... Till now, aside from casualties of the some soldiers of the Russian army, no citizen of Russia is dead neither has there been any single shot of riffle in Russia.

The war is setup for ukraine to be the long term looser just like the Vietnam war that was later declared 'No victor, no vanquished' which is a lie.

Putin's pride and ego will not make him accept defeat till he crushes Ukraine... I only pray and hope he does not employ a heavier machinery of larger destruction on Ukraine.

Goodmarlian:
Look at this map and tell me the America and NATO doesnt have alterior motives,every body cannot be foolish like Nigerian leaders that doesn't care about the security of the country, you want your NATO to plant her missiles in Ukraine so that if there is war tommorow Russia wouldn't be able defend herself because the missiles are too close to Moscow, an ICMBM launched from America mainland takes 25 minutes to reach anywhere in the world,imagine if that kind of missile is placed in ukraine which time will Moscow have to intercept it ? It will take seconds to reach Russia and wreck havoc .

hypocrite Nigerians that never condemns the killings in kaduna and benue no go let us hear word ndi uchu.

Many don't really understand what Putin is fighting against... But I still believe invasion isn't the right way.
Only Belarus which is an ally of Russia and Ukrain stands in between NATO nations and Russia... If Russia had managed the issue of Crimea and the coup of the past administration well with Ukraine, maybe it wouldn't have goitten to boiling point.

What do you think?

Are you guys mad or you're just ignorant and naive? Who dey choose sexuality for this country?

wow! I feel quite insulted... But it is ok

Everyone on Nairaland does not live or grow up in Nigeria. Some of us think and see things in a different way.
It is all a matter of perspective.

By the way, I am not mad, ignorant neither am I naive. Thanks

Madness!!! No be today... Evil has been for long in the world. Social media is just bringing it out to the open more and more.

If only our country was conducive enough for good education and opportunities... South Africans barely leave theur country enmass like this cos despite their challenges, their country is conducive.

Dstv, this attitude of yours is bad and deceptive.

Your dish is facing the wrong direction or not tilted to the right angle to get a clear frequency...
This is the period for good signals... It only gets worst when it rains

I can understand what some men with small penile will be going through psychologically... But for some, they already have a big carrot size but they just want to have cassava by force by fire.

Advice: Before you come to Kigali Rwanda for business!

It's really shocking when in a bid to cut corners, rush down to profits, prospective entrepreneurs choose the short cut. Well, failure is just a few yards away! I always tell people!
Show me an entrepreneur doing well in Rwanda, and I will show a man who knows why he's here!

You have decided to open a business in RWANDA, did you consult with a registered business for advice? Yes or no? Or rather you'd deal with individuals!
And decide to just go ahead with business. Look, Europeans Americans Chinese Indians who ordered for feasibility Study, Market Research Planing, facts & figures knows what they're doing!
I know of a Nigerian owned businesses that closed in January, due to lack of due diligence, trusting on individuals, allowing unqualified persons, whose interest is to get something out of him.
We have tons of people who contacted us that they're coming to Kigali Rwanda for business, blah blah blah.. ask us questions, figures etc. They told what we can, then ask them to commission us to do a feasibility Study, Market Research Planing Etc hahahaha hahahaha that's the last we heard from them! They don't reply messages, we generally assume they got a better deal. Hahahaha!!! Better deal from individuals!
Some go ahead to ask us to do a feasibility Study, yet they didn't pay, up till now. The documents is still with us, we assume that they pick some info from our conversation and squirrel off to do business!
As usual, we move on... Fast forward to 2022. They're already in Rwanda and rushed into business. Well, we know how it's going to end!
And as a matter of Principle, we don't talk about what is none of our business, we just observe!

You have decided to do business in RWANDA, did you do due diligence? Yes or no? Or you just gulp all your friends tell you? I'd rather say you are not serious, too emotional or seeking a get rich quick scheme. Put on your Boots, drop shame, leave that over priced accommodation, live on low budget accommodation like a hermit, yes they laugh you, but in three months your business will survive, and you will learn important skills specific to Kigali Rwanda!

I'm appalled when I see so called investors coming from all over western African continent, relying on the words of individuals, what happened to Feasibility Study? Do you have one!? What happened to Market Research Planing? Do you have one?
Let me tell you, you are a victim of your own poor business short sights if you fail. For goodness sake, it's your investment, treat it like an egg! Quarrel if needed, cut off people if needed, but just be sure to follow your business instinct.

That $30 you refused to spend on feasibility study, Market Research Planing might make you loose your whole Investment! By then it's all too late!
What about you that doesn't know which business Rwandan Immigration grants PR for? Also relying on what friends says... An entrepreneur who really worked hard to gather Investment capital would tell you, ohhh that's good can you give me a document so I can check out the Dynamics & statistics?
No Planing. No Due diligence.
Anyway, there are consequences to lack of foresight!

The purpose of such documents is to present CURRENT REALITIES to you in Black & White, so you can make informed decision, but noo, you don't want to patronize us! $30 is too much for you!

Our business Advisory.
1. Don't do business where the locals are your direct competitors. You must have a target market. Show me your target customer, I will show you a business that would work.
Make sure you have a plan B business which should actually be a Niche. Rwandans lack Niche or skills, so you should have one.

2. Rather than frivolous business like owning a bike, barbershop, phone repair, Etc, kindly engage in business that actually creates or have a Value chain. Value is what people pay for. Most of our Post here always talk about Value.
If your business Value has close & easily available competition, how do you hope to survive, not to talk of returning a profit?
Certain business can not guarantee you a work permit. Several times, we have been called upon to help individuals who made wrong choice by relying on individuals opinions rather than good business decisions and tools. We help some, we didn't help some!
Any company we register for you will guarantee you a PR. Owning bikes won't.

3. Keep your expenses Low. Rwandans know how to push you into spending your money, and ditching you once it's all gone! Make sure they know you as a shark who price alot. Who is ready to fight. Don't let them shame you into spending money beyond your limit. Your business first, before anything else!

4. Go for low cost accommodation, don't be ashamed. You will thank me later.
Accomodations in Kigali is poor, yet overpriced. But there are places you can get accommodation for$25-30 for two rooms per month. Be like the Indians & Chinese, you're here to dig money not to bury money. But, babes, sex worker's won't allow you make decisions!

5. Beware of the plastic smile! Once you're in Kigali, one thing you notice is everyone has a smile and seem good. Watch your pocket that's their target!
It happened to everyone, Whites & Blacks alike. Happened Once, their fault, happen twice your fault! Once can not kill your business, but twice might be costly for you!

6. Avoid locals or friends showing you, or leading you to buy or get stuffs. Rwandans are very cunning. Do your due diligence and don't fail to caution anyone before you start doing deals with them. Infact, do business with companies rather. Pay for their service, but ask them to get you the exact amount of what ever you deligate them to get for you.

7. Make sure you know what brought you to Kigali...
Pleasure? Ok. Be a tourist like the whites, but ensure you come with enough dollars or pounds.
Business? Ok. Be like the Indians or Chinese. They dig, they don't bury money! Advice: You can not be both at the same time!
Don't say you are into business, yet live like a tourist!

Finally, what ever information you require, pay Bigkoko® a token and we will get it for you.
This token will save you headache and lost Investment tomorrow!
Thank you!

Frank2021:
Good morning guys, on my previous post I told you about how a friend of mine was sleeping in my room and my girlfriend came in and when she woke up and didn't pick up my calls for three days. Remember I told you she was engaged and was not sure of marrying her guys. Many of you said I should tell her how I feel. Guess what? I sent her message yesterday evening asking her why she is angry if is because of the girl she saw when she woke up. She sent me message saying" what is wrong with me that she is not angry and she has nothing to do with her and she has a boyfriend, where am I even heading. You see the reason why I didn't want to tell her how I feel because she would end the friendship and thinks I want to take over from her boyfriend. This is why you don't rush to make decision quickly because it can end up hurting you. She told me she don't have any feeling for me that we are friends.

and what did you expect her to say after the drama of your real girlfriend coming around?

... and who is Funke and who is the G.O?
Well, I got the gist all the same.

NoSentiment:
Instead of them to critically examine international issues, politics and conflicts and take an informed and objective position thereon, some Nigerian Christians have always blindly take sides with America. They, in their ignorance, consider America as the bastion of Christianity and human rights even though hard core evidence belie that.

America invaded Afghanistan and killed or maimed millions of Afghans, this category of Nigerians cheered the US on and saw nothing wrong with it because their enemies, Muslims, are the victims.

America illegally invaded Iraq under the false pretext that Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), this category of Nigerians cheered the US on because, their enemies, Muslims are the victims.

Israel occupies and frequently massacres innocent Palestinian women, men andchildren , yet this category of Nigerians see nothing wrong with it because it is the biblical Israel that is involved and the victims are their enemies, Muslims.

Israel bombs Syria, Lebanon and others, yet this category of Nigeria Christians see nothing wrong with it because it is non-Christians countries of their enemies, Muslims, that are involved.

Now, FAST FOWARD to 2022 when Russia invades Ukraine, all of a sudden, this category of Nigerian Christians suddenly remembered that human lives have value and they must not only take sides with the God's own country (America) but also they must, as followers of the supposed religion of love oppose war since this time around it is not the enemies, Muslims, that are the victims.

HOWEVER, unfortunately for this category of Nigerians, their brethren in Ukraine are treating their Christian compatriots that reside in Ukraine like dirt. They screen them out of free trains and throw them out into the cold. Poland, Belarus and other countries refuse to take in the brothers and sisters of these same Nigerians as refugees not minding the support of some Nigerians to Ukraine or the US and NATO.

WHAT A TRAGEDY IS IT TO BE REJECTED BY THOSE YOU GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO DEFEND?

SHAME ON THOSE NIGERIANS WHO SUPPORT INJUSTICE JUST BECAUSE THEIR SUPPOSED ENEMIES ARE THE VICTIMS.

To this category of overzealous Nigerians, this I the videos of your brethren rejected by Ukrainians and other Christian countries such as Poland, Belarus and others:
https://www.nairaland.com/7006016/video-stranded-nigerians-africans-ukraine

I get your holistic points but it is not about the 'Christian' or 'Muslim' thing except maybe for that of ' Biblical Israel' as some choose to call them...

I believe over time,many have come to realize that America is not a saint that she seemed to portray over the years. So, let's not make it a religios matter.

We all are first humans before race, religion and colour...

A pastor connected me 2 a job @ Ikeja by September, 2020. The 1st month of my employment, he assisted me in my transportation. On my part, I paid my tithe til December, 2020 while I gave my firstfruit offering by January, '21. The following month, being February, 2021, I was blessed, so I left Badagry to Ikotun. In my new place, I started another church. But, I was stil paying my tithe @ my former church. One year later, @ my present place of worship, my new pastor discovered I was not paying my tithe. Although, I explained everything 2 him, but he insisted that I pay it @ my present place of worship. Now, February, 2022, I did not paid my monthly tithe 2 my former church, but strange enough: My former pastor called me, that "I should not forget my source". I am so confused! What will I do?

Tithe is a choice and not to be done under compulsion.... It is your seed to God and not your pastor.
Sow it wherever your heart wills even if it is to help the poor.

Awful is an understatement ... It us HELL!!!

Lekan239:
It's a shame Russia have not defeated Ukraine. I thought Russia claimed to have a weapon that could destroy the world

My brother, this is just phase one of an invasion... Ukraine needs help.
It is still mild cos it is not yet a full blown war... The missiles been used by Russia is assumed to minimize civilian casualties to avoid war crimes.

If the siege goes on like this unseccufully, heavier blows will be employed by Russia to avoid been disgraced and that will be deadlier.

madridguy:
I hope they don't turn Ukraine to their battle ground.

Unfortunately, that is what is happening already... After this is over, reconstruction and recovery will take years to achieve. War is never a good thing

These primary school pupils were seen using charcoal to change the colour of a plank to black in order to use it to teach one another Mathematics.
At home, the pupils lacked befitting blackboard or whiteboard that the oldest among them could use to teach her younger ones Mathematics.
This made them resort to using charcoal to colour the planks, in order to make the planks look like blackboard.
One could see that these children have the zeal to learn, because they really took their time to make the planks become black in colour.
Please share, so that the world would see that these children have passion for learning.

psalmz:
Asking for a friend and colleague,I have a friend who is in a relationship with a man,has a baby for him,her dad recently passed away ,and they gave her the condition that she must be married,that is dowry has to be paid for her to play her role in the burial rights of the father,according to them ,they said it’s because she is the only child,on traditional ground is it compulsory?asking to know if it’s true

That's the tradition in some parts of Enugu... But it is not compulsory.
It is assumed that there are some discussions that would take place during the burial that only the men can be involved in. Hence, that's where ger supposed husband comes to play.

She can find a way around it
