Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania are all very small countries. Spying Russia from Ukraine could be easier done than elsewhere. Russia has an interwined history with Ukraine that transcends the days of USSR.

If their interwined history was good would Russia need to use force to compell Ukraine to remain in alliance with them?such interwined history isn't a justification because it's clear it was never a fair history.

ivandragon:
Hmm...

A no-fly zone will certainly bring the West into direct conflict with Russia.

This war was unnecessary. Russia could have used progressively tougher political, economic, diplomatic & social sanctions to frustrate Ukraine being made a NATO member...

That Putin feels annexing Ukraine is the best way to stop Ukraine joining NATO shows that Ukrainians were right all along to be worried about the Russian threat...

Ukraine is an independent nation & reserves the right to defend its territory from external invasion... however, Zelensky needs to also quickly explore a diplomatic avenue out of the impasse while Putin needs to show good faith by halting further attacks & advances so as to give chance for a diplomatic resolution of the matter...

what I don't understand about Russia is that why the emphasis on Ukraine?, Latvia Estonia Lithuania we're also part of USSR n are now in NATO why didn't Russia attack them?

Putin was a strong man in the Russian secret police.
Putin has seen bad things and done very bad things.
We know Ukraine will bend and they will negotiate with Russia. I see the invasion coming to an end on a round table.
The Ukrainians now know who to call friends.
My greatest lesson learnt so far is that any friend that cannot help you in times of need should be cut iff. I will start calling my friends and give them the new update... my friends too plenty but na only few be paddy men.

I don't understand how some you comprehend n interoretes world affairs, Ukraine hasn't joined NATO,so how did you expect the US or NATO to send their troop to fight with them?,the best they can do in the circumstances is to offer assistance military and civil n they are doing that already, Russia left Lithuania latvia Estonia Bulgaria Poland Hungary etc who were also part of USSR or WARSAW PACT but now members of NATO n attack Ukraine that doesn't enjoy the protection of NATO n you people are hailing Putin,if he is brave enough let him also attack the other countries I mentioned after all they also directly borders Russia and NATO is now operating there, this was exactly how Hitler foolishly thought Germany was unbeatable due to her advancement at the time,the mistake the Ukrainians made was immediately they were compelled by world powers to handover all the nuclear weapons in their possession to Russia after the fall if communism they should have quietly been working on building their military for a time like this, but in all time n events shall tell.

Brendaniel:
What he should have done since, see don't be deceived, Russia is not fighting a full war with Ukraine, they only want to bully them into submission, I've seen a lot of people here saying Russia is weak and is living on past glory, I just laugh, If you don't know deep details of the history of Russia, please don't just make arguments against them, If you have been following abandoned engineering on Discovery channel you will know what I'm talking about...

whatever is it,no country is bigger or stronger than the rest of the world, Russia is not immuned Putin himself knows that,all his talk of nuclear weapons is just bluffing he won't dare go there,let me ask you something,Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Bulgaria these all are former USSR republics or WARSAW PACT members who are now in NATO,why didn't putiin attack them but choose Ukraine that is not yet a member?

CSTRR:
And Russia is the most resource rich nation on earth.

Just by reducing corruption and allowing capitalism, they would have been mightily rich and a top economic power.

But they sacrificed economic growth to ensure state security.

They failed to learn from China who is Communist and highly capitalist.

Thank you,one may even ask,why didn't Russia attacked Lithuania,latvia, Estonia ( of former( USSR) or Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary etc (of former WARSAW PACT) who joined NATO?, it's like the Russians particularly have some hidden issues n agenda against y ukrainians which is evil.

id4sho:

Useless sanctions and boycott. When USA destabilized Libya, this fools were in support and their actions made the sahel and sub Africa region so unstable. Africa is presently at its worse in security

USA has never attack any country who by words or deeds of their leadership are completely innocent, even in 1962 during the Cuban missile crisis the USA only carried out naval blockage of Cuba to check ships movements in n out of Cuba they never attacked Cuba with weapons.

HitSong:
Foolish Ukraine. They brought this calamity upon themselves. I don't have a single pity for them.
You can't be my neighbor and I'll tolerate you forming allegiance and romance with know criminals and terrorists (usà).

CAN USA TOLERATE MEXICO OR CANADA FORMING STRONG ALLEGIANCE WITH RUSSIA, IRAN OR NORTH KOREA?

Russia is already supporting Iran n north Korea,as for Mexico or Canada even with out been forced are they willing to form alliance with Russia?,you can't force people to be friends with you but you can convince people by your good work n attitude to be your friends, right from the cold war Russia n communism failed to achieve economic greatness to offer her people n allies the good life unlike capitalism hence capitalism won n has continue to attract many, Russia's use of force would simply made her worse off.

Putin is just bluffing, himself and his country Russia is not immune to nuclear attack,he won't dare it, it's all brinksmanship.

Rollsnjaguar:
Those urging western nations on will be shocked at what Putin is capable of. I know Putin will never loose, instead he will deploy nuclear weapons.

you really thinks Putin n Russia are immuned to nuclear attack themselves!,all these is just brinksmanship Putin would never results to nuclear weapons never.

complexBoss12:
It's a pity that the people of Ukraine will be sacrificed for a new world order. As I said in my previous post few days ago, Putin would rather seen an end to the world than end like Hitler, and just today, he put nuclear weapons on alert over sanctions.

Putin ain't playing by any rules.

Ukrainian President thinks it sounds good to "die a hero" But I will tell you guys for free "there is nothing heroic about death". If you have watched someone die, it's painful and inglorious.

Recognizing than someone is stronger than you is not a sign of weakness but strength. The president of Ukraine is being used as a pawn, in a game that is bigger him. He is sacrificing his people for stupid pride. It's a natural the weak, will be a subject to the strong. Talk to Putin, negotiate. mind you that, Russia hasn't even started war, they are more less playing the deplomatic game of threatening you to come for negotiation, if they decide to end Ukraine in 24 hours it will be done.

You can still quote me and talk rubbish, but sentiment don't win wars. I am being practical here. In international politics, once deplomacy fails, people get hurt.

The only reason I won't argue much about this is that Ukraine isn't a member of NATO,if Putin really thinks he is supreme then let him attack a NATO member nation, Ukraine is getting foreign aid from various countries via polish land borders, Poland is a NATO member let Putin make good his threat n attack Poland n let's see.

To mark the fourth anniversary of the abduction of Leah Sharibu by Boko Haram/ISWAP from Government Girls Science and Technical College, on February 19, 2018, the founder of the #FreeLeahSharibu movement, Reno Omokri, is releasing a charity single, titled Angels on Guard: A Song for Leah.

Written by pop music diva, and renowned broadcaster and actress, Onyeka Onwenu, the song, Angels on Guard: A Song for Leah, is performed by Onyeka Onwenu, also featuring foremost gospel music star, Panam Percy Paul and Reno Omokri.

More importantly, it features Nathan Sharibu, Leah Sharibu’s father.

Angels on Guard: A Song for Leah, is Executive produced by Reno Omokri and is intended to draw world attention to the case of Leah Sharibu, who was abducted by radical Islamic terrorists along with 109 other schoolgirls.

Five of those girls died on the day of their abduction. 104 were later released because they were either Muslims, or agreed to abandon Christ. Leah Sharibu is the only girl still in captivity, because, according to the released girls, she refused to give up her faith in God through Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach).

Reno Omokri has been campaigning for Leah Sharibu’s release since 2018, and has written a book, Leah Sharibu: The Girl Boko Haram Left Behind. 100% of the royalties of that book was paid to Leah’s mother.

Mr. Omokri met Boris Johnson, now Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, who modeled the first #FreeLeahSharibu T-shirt on Wednesday, April 3, 2019. A charity auction of #FreeLeahSharibu T shirts raised over £4000, 100% of which was donated to Leah’s parents.

Mr. Omokri also wore a customized #FreeLeahSharibu tracksuit over Mount Everest on Thursday, April 11, 2019, and has met with 9 sovereign governments in a bid to pressure the Nigerian administration of General Muhammadu Buhari to secure Miss Sharibu’s release.

Angels on Guard: A Song for Leah is available for immediate download on iTunes, Spotify, and other music streaming platforms from Wednesday, February 16, 2022.

Osibanjo really let his faith and the Christians down in Leah's case,how in hell was he part of the effort to release the kidnapped dapchi students with only Leah sharibu a Christian left out, it's one major reason I don't have confidence in him at all,his present lack of confidence in his so called presidential ambitions against Tinubu is also vindicating my doubts about him, God bless and have mercy on Leah.

budaatum:
Not only courts. We must first fight it in the minds of Nigerians who think it benefits them. Once that battle is won and the majority understand, the subsidies will disappear.

please I was talking about constituency projects and not subsidies.

budaatum:
No it isn't, which is why Jonathan and bubu have fought the cabal that benefits from it at the expense of all Nigerians, and instead of supporting those who try to fight it we all condemn the fighters as if they are the thieves.

I think the only way to really fight it,is to challenge it legality in the court that's all.

klas:
It wasn't introduced by Obasanjo, it was introduced by Nass during Obasanjo tenure.

The constitutionality of constituency project has not been tested in court but it is the legislature that the constitution gives the power of appropriation.

Their contention is that if they are the one with that power, they cannot just rubber-stamp executive proposals by way of budget just like that without their own input.

That is why the issue of budget padding cannot be easily defined. How do you accuse somebody who has constitutional authority to approve the budget estimates of padding it because he removes some of the executive proposals and inserts his own?

It is like accusing the Board of Directors of padding a proposal sent to the the Board for approval by the CEO

So, it neither here, nor there.

I like your submissions,but I think the legality of the NASS members constituency projects need to be tested in court, except if the executive is only rubbing their back for a good return,the work of the legislature no matter the power they may have is to make laws n check mate the executive n not to usurp executive powers it responsibilities in any form n vice versa, it's better to try n fail rather than allowing the nonsense to just go on unchallenged, the problem is always that buhari as an individual seems to have a very low understanding of most critical issues n some hands behind the scene are aware of this and taking advantage to run rings around him.

klas:
If you had followed the news earlier, he protested when he was signing the budget in December and promised to write the Nass to delete those projects.

In 2016, he declined signing the budget on account of the same issue but found out later that he couldn't win against Nass as they delayed the budget till the middle of year when it supposed to have taken effect in January.

Same thing happened during Jonathan regime and it wasn't resolved until Okonjo-Iweala bowed to their wish to include the constituency projects.

Ok you made a nice point,but if I may ask,is this constituency projects legal?,is it back by law or the Constitution?, I'm not sure but there are claims that it was introduced by obasanjo as a way winning over the NASS,if that is true then why can't the president if truly he is desirous of ending budget padding approach the supreme Court to declare it unconstitutional n end it permanently?.

Good day Nairalanders,

I work as a security officer in a community, I usually work from 7:00am - 3pm in a secondary school, and also resume night duty by 7pm in a community close to my house
The landlord association gave us a warning that we must check all cars coming in and going out of the estate and we have been performing our duties in a polite way..
About 11:35pm last night, we heard the horn of a strange car requesting that we should open the gate, I switch on my touch to check those inside the car, it was three abled young men and lady inside the car, in a polite way I ask them where they are heading to and they mentioned a popular rich man in the community, as usual, I told them to open the booth of there car which they refused to open, I told them to drive back to where they are coming from but before I could know what's happening,. They got down from the car and threathing to deal with us if the gate is not opened...they forced the gate open and drove inside the community,my colleague we're just watching the whole scenario as I drag issues with them...
I don't know the report they gave the chairman of the landlords association, they just got to our checkpoint this morning and told me I have been fired without paying me off, I told them I haven't done anything wrong and was just carrying out my duties,I was told never to come close to the area again or else I will be arrested.
I left there in annoyance, I was only carrying out my duties but now I have been Sacked for carrying out order...
I don't know what this country is turning to again...

something fishy is definitely going down, it's bad,but sorry stay away from those people simple.

If the PDP as a party are serious and truly desirous of winning the 2023 elections,let them not shy away from zoning of their offices n specifically zone the presidency to the SE,the southern governor's should be bold enough to demand that both pdp n APC should zone their presidential candidate to the SE, security issues should not be the yard stick but if they should then only the SW N SS should be considered, there are still some credible politicians in both parties from the SE,in pdp there's ekweremadu, Peter obi in Apc there's ogbonaya onu,Dave umahi n others that should be given a chance for equity, peace n progress of the country.

I think we also should have a unicameral national assembly to reduce cost n quickens legislative functions,I will suggest it should be called 'THE NATIONAL CONGRESS"n the members should be called "CONGRESSOR",the present senatorial zones should be split into three so that each state shall have 9 congressors,at the state level the state assembly should have three members representing each local government area,at the local government level,each local government area should have twenty wards each represented by a councilor.all elective position should be for a single term of five years,the minimum academic qualifications for elective office should be ND/NCE or their legal equivalent for councilor,HND/FIRST DEGREE for the rest positions n their deputies as the case may be,as for age,it should be 25 for councilor n 30 for the rest,for each position or deputy one must have established n manage a registered business employing a minimum of 5 persons 3years prior to contesting or must have acquired relevant work experience in the past 10year prior to contesting.rotational representation should be made constitutional for all elective positions,i think this would do the country a lot of good in future.

The Ogun state police have been accused of arresting a female student of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) identified as Olanipekun Oladayo Irenimofe for buying contraceptive and pregnancy test tubes, Siggy reports.

The sister of the arrested student who shared the story on her Twitter said the pharmacist who attended to the student was also arrested.

She pleaded for help on twitter who however can help them resolve the issue as she'd love her sister released from the police station as soon as possible.

■Imagine if ministry of defence staff are the ones to recruit military officers and not the Nigeria Army
■Imagine if the staff of the NSA office are responsible for recruitment into DSS and NIA,
Why doing that to the police? No wonder the police is beyond repairs and devoid of the right people for police job.
PSC is just one agency that needs to be scrapped ASAP
Civilians responsible for police recruitment! Only in Nigeria

your analogy is wrong,go n check the functions of the PSC,I wonder y the supreme Court hasn't rule on the PSC vs IGP Case to settle this matter once n for all, personally I would prefer the PSC to be in charge,e get y.

Rickmann:
Exactly..
The system claims to have equated both degrees yet the segregation and discrimination never stops.

It's completely the fault of the government who are just paying lip service to real educational reforms n dancing to the selfish sentiments of some powerful stake holders e.g ASUU,with the appropriate know how n will power most of these stuffs can be easily address but where the head is rotten n empty what would you expect from the body.

Rickmann:
Isn't it worrisome that the OND holders stand a better chance of securing jobs now in Nigeria. Banks, companies and even the civil service now prefer OND certifications to the Bachelor's degree.

Question now is, aren't university undergraduates wasting their time?

This is why we need a single standard for certificates instead of all these duplications n discrepancies n discriminations.
