I get your point
That USA is guilty of invading sovereign nations is not an excuse for Russia to do same. What is wrong is wrong.
USA has not invaded Cuba or Mexico or Canada to expand their territory.
Russia should and must withdraw from Ukraine. Simple.

For starters, Ukraine was once a part of the big USSR, and a large portion of a district in Ukraine is occupied by Russians, while those North American countries you mentioned never were a part of the US. However, that's not enough reason to justify the invasion.

While I agree with you on the fact that "what is wrong is wrong", but we need to revisit the initial, and exact cause of this invasion. What is happening in Ukraine is an indirect war between the West and the Russian corner, they are just using Ukraine as a battlefield, and Russia directly involved while the US and her allies provide logistics.

Putin's main reason for invading Ukraine was because of the latter's strong intent to join NATO, a move that would have birthed the placement of a NATO military base in Ukraine, a direct neighbour to Russia. With the likes of Estonia, Lithuania and Poland already fallen to NATO, Russia couldn't afford being surrounded by its arch-enemies.

Take a peep into the 1963 Cuban Missile Crisis, after which I hope you would understand what led to the invasion, and why pacification is the way to go at this point. It took the maturity and apt leadership skill of then USSR and US leaders to avert what could have led to WW III.

Tell the invaders to leave the territory of a sovereign country.
Isn't that the simple thing to do?
Why blame those defending their own country from an oppressor?
And why blame those supporting the oppressed?

As if the US is any better, the Americans are the most devious people on earth, left to me, they indirectly or directly bore almost all the misfortunes bedevilling the world today. For example, the Americans trained, armed, and used Osama until he became useless to them, once he turned, he became a terrorist with a bounty on his head. How many sovereign States has the US attacked? How many buoyant countries have they turned to carcasses?

I am no fan of Putin, he is some crazy man who is not ready to back down, least he loses face. Millions of Ukrainians have been forced out their homeland, and infrastructure hugely destroyed, this destruction will take decades to recover from. There are times you use stick, there are times you use carrot, but now is the time you use both. NATO countries are now directly arming Ukraine, God safe us all if Putin wakes up on the wrong side of the bed someday, all frustrated and ready to risk it all. Ordinary the Ukrainian War is having huge effect on the world's economy, imagine what a burning Europe would do to countries like Nigeria who imports everything

What an entertaining game for the neutrals

These people are just looking for means to escalate this war...something a sincere dialogue would de-escalate.

I don't know what the US have over all these European leaders that makes them always dance to the tune of the US. I mean, if this thing actually escalates, Europe will be the main battleground, in fact, one missile might not hit the American soil.

Wisdom is profitable to direct.

When you think you are richer or more exposed than your coach...players of nowadays are so full of themselves. Money don spoil everybody.

You got a point!
U K ,like their EU counterparts,prefers the Ukrainian White but failed to know that Nigerians are more better and determined people!
The New UK P M- Rishi, should understand that everyone, including Nigerians have rights to migrate,since many of them also migrated to where they are now, including Mr Trump, whose Parents comes from Germany!
But while are they limiting Nigerians from migration?
Is it our Govt connivance with Foreign Countries or what?

Well, I think the problem is multifaceted...

1. Most European countries were still finding means to wriggle their ways out of the aftereffect of CV 19, when the Ukrainian War broke out; further compounding an already precarious situation across board. After all, one wouldn't blame neighbours for helping accommodate their fellows who were and are still fleeing from the war. They had to provide them with shelter, and pay them stipends until they learn their new hosts' language and get jobs.
So imagine how strained they are already, so it is only normal they come up with strategies to minimise immigrants who aren't in urgent need of it. The good thing is that they accommodated people of other colours too. At least I know 5 Nigerian students (2 of which had expired Ukrainian Residence Permits) who are well settled in Netherlands and Germany respectively, with 1 to 2 years work permits, and earn 1500 euros and above after tax. To those folks, the war was a blessing in disguise, because there were scarcely legit jobs for them in Ukraine.

2. Third world migrants rarely migrate solo, each come with at least 3 or more dependents, further straining the already stretched social facilities.

3. And again, you might not be far from the truth with the fact that our government have a hand in it. Because the brain drain is crippling every sector of the country, so it is only normal for the government to try and indirectly stand as obstacle.

But in all honesty, we only have our past and current leaders to blame, because if Nigeria were to be working in tandem with what God has blessed her with, someone like me would still be in Nigeria.

I think this issue of Study Visa restriction is not only restricted to the UK alone, most European countries and towing the same line.

This is one of the disadvantages of the Ukrainian War to people who know nothing about it. The massive migration of Ukrainians and its residents of various nationalities is putting a big strain on most European economies, as these countries have being forced to integrate them into their system.

If that's him, then it is most likely cancer or some brain related ailment.

Him posture just be like person wey hin last words were " what a wicked world"...indeed, we live in a wicked world.

In anything we do, let's remember we only have one life...take good care of it to the best of your ability and leave the rest to God.

May God rest his soul

You call Kanye Werey?

I do always say the black race is cursed, cos we always sacrifice our very own, who tend to lead us to the truth!


I hope you know Kanye is a Jew, who was being castigated for being anti-Semitic

It doesn't change the fact that he's agba werey...his utterances depict such...although I agree with him on most of his utterances...but the man is very unstable, and I would say the same thing about any white man in his position.

I mean, who asks an immediate past US President to be his running mate? If he is not catching cruise, then he is mentally fatigue or even outrightly crazy.

This guy nah werey of the highest order...he needs some serious help

Italia 1990

Although I was a little boy back then, my major attraction/recollection was Roger Milla's dance by the corner flags whenever he scored.

But I enjoyed USA 94 to the fullest, with a football loving father, I watched every watchable match.

Goldensword:
I don't understand what's going on, that particular helicopter do hover around agbani road-coal camp areas from morning till evening for the pass 7days now.

If that's the case, it might be that of the police.

So unfair to such a good player, on and off the pitch.

This life ehn, and Maguire dey stay fit

GboyegaD:
I feel the road is just too short. I'm sure in your current residence you must have seen massive road projects and maintenance of older roads.

No need to even compare, white folks don't have time for all these jamboree over what they are voted to do. Projects continue and are delivered as planned even when there is a change of government.

Well, It is a Nigerian thing, small things dey freak us. But then, you can't blame us, if people have been so deprived of basic amenities by those they voted into power, with little or no repercussion, then you should forgive those who sing their praise when they do little things. Na pesin wey never visit another pesin papa farm go talk sey nah him papa own big pass.

The thing is that, if he had ignored the road, there is nothing anyone can do about it, if him go win, him go win. The whole system is messed up.

GboyegaD:
Did you call a 2.35km road an achievement? It is mediocre to start with and the fanfare makes it more irritating to say the least.

I don't know the stretch covered on the road, but I know it is an important road....although it might not be worth rolling out drums for, my argument is that if you do not display all your achievements out there, nobody will believe you are doing anything.

While I was in Nigeria, Amosun constructed a portion of the road at the twilight of his administration, I think he stopped at GTV; complimenting the then newly built studio. So if Dapo can go farther than that, it is worth mentioning, but not with the jamboree IMO.

GboyegaD:
I am amused when I read this type of news. Why the fanfare to commission a road? Isn't part of the government's duty making the life of her citizens better which a good road is part of?

In this story, it is amusing it is a 2.35km road approximately 1.5miles. Who did this to us? It is annoying to see this government treat us as thrash, and we celebrate such.

Well, you wouldn't blame the political class, in this social media age, if you don't put your achievements out there, no-one would know or even believe you did it, and your opponents will use it against you.

All the fanfare doesn't make sense to me too, but we are who we are, and it is what it is.

Adults behaving like kids...money and fame miss road

bid4rich:
The followings are pumping in my head to

1. The driver need to be located to give us insight into what transpired in the car.

2. The husband/fiance need to be found

2. You can't be so angry that the only option is to end your own life. To punish who, the husband? There is something more...

3. Perhaps, it's something that may cause her shame and she decided to end it all before it come public.

4. You can add yours....

I go with No 3

Operatives does that when they feel an action is about to bring shame or big time reproach, especially those following in a family's footsteps in an agency like the DSS.

And who knows, it might be spiritual, African magic is real

Apt, very apt. It is high time Afrcan leaders stood up United against these Western countries' master/slave mentality; always dishing out what they can't take.

Life2020:
Hi, first I want to thank you all for your advise the last time i was here.

The last time I brought up my problems here, I vented out about how my husband is being a total pain in the ass.

The problem is one, he's cheating on me with several girls and still want to have sex with me but i refused stating that until he does a full STD test we are not having sex, simply put i need to Know that he is STD free before we have sex again.

Two, he's never at home, sometimes for two weeks he stays in hostels with girls, partying and spending his money, at first i tried to understand him because we did marry young, i felt that maybe he misses having his Independence, so at first i said nothing until it got worse. I now feel like a single mom, i do everything, the children don't even know anything about their dad, they see him as a stranger now, he's always cool towards them and i don't like it, have told him several times that i want the children to bound with him, i need them to have a good relationship with their father and have even advised him to take them out, maybe to a theme park or anything really but he has refused stating that he's busy.

Thirdly he body shames me, telling me that i look like a clown, I'm fit, it's not like I'm dirty or anything i take care of myself, i know he's lying because i have admirers, like a lot of them, ever since i started making money and could afford to employ workers, i have done everything to make myself look good, i go to the gym, do facials and i make sure I look beautiful, honestly I don't know what's wrong with him.

I have come to the conclusion that he is only saying it to be mean to me, maybe as a means of control, honestly i think he thinks if he makes me feel less than i am, to make me think i have no where else to go.

Thirdly when we first got married, we both agreed that he will go to the university first then later, i will also attend, after finishing his university education he couldn't find a job so i gave him two of my lands to start a business, he because successful in the business and his now lavishing the money. I have a farming business, it's very successful, with it i have many lands and i built the home me and my husband live in, ever since he started making money i advised him to build his own house but he has refused, instead he bought a fancy car, i want to build an estate so that i can have another source for revenue but for one reason or other, my husband is advising me against it.

Now back to me wanting to attend the university, i want to study accounting so that i can take my business to a new level but my husband has refused saying that he wants more babies, we already have twins (two lovely girls). i told him later, after I finish my university degree and our girls are a little bit older, we will have more kids

Now back to the present day, have decided I'm kicking my husband out. Recently, I noticed he was always at home, I was happy but surprised, I thought he had changed. I decided we need to spend time together as a family, I was even planning on us going on a vacation, give my children a life I wasn't opportune to live, I talked to him about it, we made plans, he agreed to go for a full STD test. I was happy
little did I know that my so called husband has fathered another child outside our marriage, he told me this himself, saying all sorts of nonsense on how I should advise the girl to abort it so that we can be one big happy family, I just looked at him, I haven't said anything to him in days. But I have decided that I'm kicking him out. I want to do this in a way that it doesn't affect my children, I really want them to build a relationship with their dad but as for me I clocked out of this marriage a long time ago.

I was advised by my a friend to make a video while I kick him out but I'm not going to do, he's till the father of my child, and I don't want my children to grow up and find those videos
honestly I just need emotional support while I go through this divorce.

Hey there, you are beautifully and wonderfully made, and very successful too. If things actually played out the way you described them, you have every right to do what you have in mind. I hate it when men try to suppress their women. If without a degree you are achieving all of these, only God knows the great heights you will attain when you have one. He clearly knows this, hence, his shenanigans in trying to kill your shine.

I know it is difficult to be a single parent, but you don't want that kinda man around you, I just pray he restricts his madness to what he's doing now, and it doesn't grow to wanting to do you harm.

Just make sure those can protect are with you when you want to send him off, I have seen such evictions end up bloody.

A piece I would give my sister and friend, all the best

Hmm, deep very deep.

Some people's stars no just align any where at all.

Just like me, while I was with the mother of my only child, things didn't gel for me at all until she left on her own accord. Although we are apart, we still kept not too close and not distant relationship, mainly because of the child between us.

Now, I am no longer in Nigeria, she remarried but the relationship dey one kind, we reestablished very close platonic relationship. She has always been this kind hearted lady, whom I hold nothing against for leaving. Hence, she still have access to our child on holidays. So i sent her some money a couple of times, but each time I did, I ran into all sorts of problems; financial and work related. I was even thinking of boosting her business with half a million, but I am afraid of the repercussion for me.

Now, it doesn't mean any of these women are doing this on purpose, they just might have something on them that spells doom for their helpers or simply the fact that the stars just doesn't align for both parties. That's why I don't blame parents who go spiritual before their children gets married.

The worst mistake (most time irreparable) a man or woman can make in life is to end up with a wrong partner...it could set you back 10, 15 or more years...or just destroy the destiny forever.

So my brother, since itnhas been confirmed that she's somehow (knowingly or otherwise) behind your backwardness in life, and she has refused to go for a solution, just file for divorce. If you really love her, speak with her parents or someone she respects about it. If she still stands her ground, run for your life, my brother run!!!!

I only watched the final 10mins of the Bayelsa Queens match, those ladies did their best, it just wasn't their day. Their opponent's goalkeeper should be praised for her resilience and smart saves.

On the other hand, Plateau Utd had lots of chances to put the tie to bed, but they kept wasting them, hence, this is how far they deserve to go

Even with these kinda barricades, some hyper active and restless kids will still find their way in. Or even adults forgetting to lock it up once in a while.

Eriokanmi:
I love Germans. So open, caring people. GB made all the people look like our enemies whereas they they're the most wicked of all. If yiu have a French friend or partner, you'd hate Britons to the teeth. Almost all Germans speak English but would always pretend not to understand when you first approach them. I have them as friends so I know this. Yet Britain would say our official language must be English but France and Germans make English a second language for all. If yiu go to any of the French colonies, their learned people speak both French and English. But the reverse is the case in anglophone counties.

I remember a day I travelled to Germany for the first time and I needed to buy a train ticket, this pretty German girl walked to me and asked politely,...can I help? After she put in the coins needed to buy the train ticke to my destination, she escorted me put of that place and shook hands with me, then walked away as she smiled on. I should have taken her contact but I was in a hurry. Does anyone know that Germany offers 100% tuition free degree programmes to international students? Go to UK and try it nah

Nigerians should emulate Germans' sense of kindness and humility

I agree with you to a large extent, but shey you know you will still need to fund a block account with your prospective school...a whooping 10,000euro. The good thing is that, they release the money back to you bit by bit every month until you graduate.

MissLAP:
So German's dey social like this?

I think say na only work work work Dem sabi

Go around German cities Friday and Saturday nights, you go see serious flexing, clubbing and partying their stress away. They work their bones off during the week, flex throughout the weekend.

Truth of the matter be sey, for Western world, nah children dey on top the chain of people wey government dey prioritise, after nah woman, and man at the foot of the table. As such, most African women take advantage of this to maltreat their husbands.

Now, that's not to say your woman is heading in that direction, because when you get to this side of the world, you need all the help you can get. (But with sense)

Having said that, I think by now, you should know your wife's traits while in Nigeria, did she show signs of promiscuity, was she a not too contented lady...etc If she possessed any of these traits before, then you should be very afraid.

I had a similar experience during my first year as a student. My closest friend/confidant was a married woman whose husband was in Nigeria with 2 kids, she was here to wet the ground for them to come over. I was a single dad of one. We got very close and helped each other with so many things like shopping and settling. In fact, she made most of my meals, I bought food stuffs sometimes, while she just opens her fridge and feeds me most times. But never for once did our relationship go pass platonic. It took 3 months before I talked to her husband over the phone after turning down the request to do so countless of times. But prior to that, the wife kept telling the husband about me, and he kept sending his "thank yous" for being there for her.

So my point is this, it all have to do with trust and antecedents. The fact that this man hangs around your woman doesn't mean something is going on or about to happen. It can be very lonely out here, and you need people settling down if you are new, male or female. But you need to still have self discipline in order not to lose yourself.

And again, if you are not really a man she can freely chat with and tell things, then that explains her shutting you out of most of the happenings around her. If you often doubt her even when she's being sincere with her actions and words, she would of course hold back sometimes.
