It was because it is a long and dangerous route that would be costly to maintain. The Russian Empire lacked proper access to Africa, the authorities feels that risking soldiers and resources to a distant land made little sense. The Russian empire preferred to keep conquered territories under direct control.

Etinosa1234:
Lmaoooo... What's ur point..

So u feel the reason Russia didn't come to Africa was because they like blacks

Same country that their economy was in crumbles despite having the largest empire in Europe and Asia??

Same country that attended the Berlin conference and was not recorded to be an opposition to colonialism in Africa

Why don't u check the state of the economy in the late 19th century and see the reasons why the October revolution happened?

U think u are smart but u are not..

And I'm not even joking

You forget that Russia invaded and annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in the aftermath of the west-sponsored Dignity Revolution. So you all expect Russia not to protect its own interests following the US-sponsored revolution?
After all, Crimea is theirs.

seanfer:
Is memorandum not an agreement signed by 2 nations Russia and Ukraine? You just want to play smart and end up shooting yourself in the leg. Was it not written in the papers signed by Russia and Ukraine that Non will invade each other? Did Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and 2022? Did Russia fulfill its part of the Memorandum?

make them go buy for Isreal na.. sheybi dem EU don sign deal with Isreal

mi o ni so kankan

okay iyawo joe biden

Sweetplum:
gbenu dake

so the western leaders has a good heart.
without Russia, EU and west cant survive either.

Sweetplum:
Without the west, Russia can't survive. Cos Una v good land mass nbresiurces no mean say Una recent leaders get good heart. The heart of a leader can better his nation. Putin is evil that's why Russia is chopping wotowoto. This Medvedev come be his asst devil prefect.
Una too dey craze!

if you are in Nigeria, don't think about it.
them buharideen will not wanna offend our colonial big brothers.

Kingsnairaland:
I need them Russia cars.

Zelenzky - The Emperor of the world.

So una dey buy material used in tank production from Russia
Make them find the materials in their respective countriesi and use it na, since Russia is insignificant to them.
Awon werey

This one hasn't heard anything else about the war.
Every time killed, killed.

is Biden alright like this

The only thing they have learned well from the United States and the United Kingdom ( colonial masters)

These people still have no idea how politics works.
When Tinubu, Osinbajo, and Ameachi were negotiating with different Northern APC state governors, what were their southeast counterparts doing?
putting their trust in Buhari by telling him it is their turn
Buhari is relying on the northern APC state governors structure to win the election. if he had separate structures in each state In any case, his boys will not lose their primary elections.

I never said he is winning because 2023 will be a completely different ballgame. But he has a high chance.
I'm only responding to a post that Atiku should choose Seyi Makinde to split the vote in the west.

Bravospiff:
2023 poll will silent all this noise about Tinubu winning the election,

You're going to be fine.
Assuming we split up, lagos will be shared by all tribes.
Una go carry Oshodi and Alimosho.
Dem go give Yorubas Isale eko, awori and abule egba dem.
Northern go carry katangora and part of agege

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Lagos is a no mans land.Peter Obi and Atiku will not marginalise Yorubas.Tinubu have nothing to offer Nigeria

The post is funny to me ni.
E go surprise them if oyo go to Tinubu.

tesppidd:


This is savage wickedness.

It's expected na
Since the outgoing governor won the same APC senatorial ticket both fighting for.
As the present senator. He won't leave without a fight.

This is entirely a different political chess game.
Don't be surprised if Tinubu win oyo state for presidential election and Seyi Makinde win gubernatorial election

NwaIdeato:
Shows how naive you are...Traditionally SW don't give bloc votes, now with Seyi as Atiku's running mate all Atiku needs in the SW is just 25% of the total votes which he will easily get with Seyi, remember there is still a decent PDP structure in the SW...Atiku already has the South on his ace card, and will even get sympathy votes from the SE!

SM as VP.
He will only split vote in oyo
I laugh in Swahili

NwaIdeato:
I have a feeling Atiku will pick Seyi Makinde as his VP, that would be a brilliant move that will really split Tinubu's chances of a bloc vote in the SW.

yes you are right.
But my mind keeps ringing Dogara or Boss Mustapha

MetaPhysical:
Good point!
Dogara is a recent Tinubu convert. Remember when Saraki headed 8th Senate, Dogara was Speaker and anti-Tinubu. Infact, Gbajabiamila was slated for Speakership in 8th NASS but the Saraki coup, perpetrated through Dogara in House of Reps made it impossible. Dogara is PDP implant.

Boss Mustapha was replacement after Babachir was sacked.

Babachir was one of the originals and loyalists in 2014 when APC was founded. He has remained a pro-Tinubu from day one.

what of Dogara and Boss Mustapha as they are both christain

MetaPhysical:
Atiku
From SE - Charles Soludo
From SW - Akinwunmi Ambode
From SS - Emmanuel Uduaghan

Tinubu
From NE - Babachir Lawan
From NC - James Faleke
From NW - No prominent christian in the zone

is Buhari Hausa or Fulani ?

Victoronah1:
Tinubu is a Yoruba, Buhari is Hausa, two different people, Amaechi was who did campaign for Buhari and not tinubu. If tinubu gets third in this election, he should thank his God,

Tinubu has one quality that I admire. He is a unifier.

Adek15:
if not for health reasons, Only Amaechi comes close to Tinubu.
I want to vote for Obi but I'm not convinced yet. We can't repeat the Buhari mistake again when we banked on integrity and all. Leadership is more than that

Yes, Lagos is a great state.
But, if we're being honest, we can credit Tinubu with the continuity of Lagos state development, and he's also the architect of good governance in Lagos.
I just think Baba should take a break and let the younger generation take over. But he believe to be in good shape as CR7 .

HIGHESTPOPORI:
We are saying the same thing, Lagos is the Top state in Nigeria and the most populated even before Tinubi was born.Atributing Lagos development to Tinubu is funny because he is from Osun.

He may even be from Niger; Joe Igbokwe is from Anambra as well, but he is a special adviser in Lagos, demonstrating Tinubu's ability to bring people together.
You can't deny that Lagos' IGR increased significantly during Tinubu's tenure.
I still prefer a PO or PYO over him.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Tinubu is from Osun, Lagos have been the top State in Nigeria even before Tinubu was born.Tinubu is getting 10percent from Lagos Igr till date.Thats not a sign of a good leader no matter how you worked for a state

And Tinubu did nothing in Lagos right. As much as I would like a PYO or PO, you should stop claiming that PO did more than BAT in their respective states.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
He took Anambra from a laughing stock under Pdp to the top 3 state when he was leaving and left 75 billions savings.What he did can'tt be said in a post, you have to google it for more.

Osinbajo may also step down

Canada planes were only in the region to help enforce US sanctions on North Korea not UN. There is no UN Security Council resolution that has authorized any country to deploy forces in territorial waters or airspace of another country to uphold a resolution.
So China has the right to deploy military jets when Canadian surveillance planes were hovering over the South China Sea.

I always tell my people that these bloodthirsty northerners will not easily relinquish that power because they have overburdened the country and see that Federal power as their own resources to control the southern resources, while we, the so-called educated lot, are divided among ourselves. Only in the north will you see a voter with four different voter cards with the same names but slightly different spellings.

The same country that threaten ICC prosecutions against their personnel and retaliation against any country cooperating with the Court if it ‘goes after’ America.

which 3l3ribu colonial masters?
colonial masters wey dey worthless to us.
make buroda boris do anyone, na one hypersonic missiles i go give am

Topmaike007:
na your colonial masters you dey shab abi

am not referring to you brother.
am talking about the western double standard.

SmartyPants:
I dont understand how we got here. I just condemnded the actions of the US against the Solokon Islands so why are you still asking me to justify Russia on the basis of what the US is doing?

Logically, shouldnt it be condemnation for both??
