Wagner group is a militia, supposedly enrolling prisoners in it's rank.
Where is the main Russia army? Snoozing at home?

Russian army as a fighting force is not capable as shown in Lyman and Kherson

When Wagner attacked Bakhmut, Russian army simultaneously attacked Vuhledar in the largest tank battle of the war and were routed

Wagner's advantage is that they are expendable, being ex prisoners as you say so Russia doesn't mind high casualty rate for them, it's just helping to clean up their society from criminals

BlueRayDick:
Yeah, but majority of the 50% margin are costs Dangote would've borne had he not ceded transportation/logistics out to the same wholesalers. If Dangote did say that, its more like he's setting the wholesalers up for dragging on top money wey dem no chop.

Dangote know why he ceded that part of operation. I wonder if it's the Insurance companies bearing the cost of all these burnt trucks, accidents and wear and tear from Nigerian roads

Trucking business is something I actually want to do when I retire from 9 to 5. It's a good business for an accountant to do, because all the revenue and cost elements are fairly predictable within Western setting. Naija setting na anything goes.

Marcus Thuram has turned down an offer from Chelsea and is keen to wait to choose the right club and wants to play Champions League football.

Shame. Who we should have chased in January instead of the ill advised Felix loan

BlueRayDick:
Can u please share the interview u are referring to here ?

I doubt Dangote is saying the truth if he indeed claimed wholsesalers put almost 50% margin on his products when it gets to their hands.

For starters I know Dangote stopped carrying his products a long time ago. He already hedged that risk by allowing distributors own trucks registered under his franchise to carry products from his depot in Obajana to any part of the country . Most times when those trucks have accidents and people burn them down in the hope of hurting Dangote’s business , they don’t know they are destroying the business of their kinsmen who own the trucks and have it registered under Dangote’s franchise .

For example the risk involved in transporting products from Obajana to Kebbi state is transferred to the wholesaler who is carrying the product ; risks such as paying all security men on the road , escaping robbers in the road and even risk of having ur truck burnt down when an untoward event happens .

I remember a case in 2021 when one truck killed an okada man in Obajana , the youth of the town mobilized and burnt all the trucks on queue waiting to load at the depot . ( These trucks belong to individual businessmen who keyed into Dangote’s logistics franchise and they had to beat the risk on behalf of Dangote ).

I think Dangote is being economical with the truth if he’s claiming wholesalers put as much as 50% margin on his products ex-factory works . If u have a sit-down talk with the wholesalers, u will be surprised those margins aren’t that high as Dangote make them seem .

Lastly I found it very very hard to believe that an entrepreneur will assemble all the factors of production to come up with a product offering to the consumers only to have wholesalers making 50% margin on the final product . It won’t even happen in the most capitalist economies my brother .

A major cost of cement is in transportation. Add in challenges of transporting goods on Nigerian highways and 50% seems fair. A general rule of thumb in retail is that retail price is often 3 times production price. If Dangote produces for N1 and sells for N2, while retail sells for N3, that's your 50% on top Dangote sale price

I doubt ukraine let them have anything.
I am still for giving ukraine adequate means to fight the war... which is why i ask you the question. Ukraine will gain ground, lose ground, gain ground and the war goes on forever.

I don't think if Ukraine Purposely give the territory away, they will be out there denying the terror was captured by russia.

Ukraine didn't let them have it. NATO told Ukraine to let them have it 8 months ago, and Ukraine said they can exhaust them there, knowing they would eventually lose it, but to make them commit and trap men there. Russia's main winter offensive focused on Vuhledar and Bakhmut. Russia was routed in Vuhledar while Bakhmut was used as a meat grinder for them. Had Ukraine done the sensible thing and pulled out initially, Wagner would have maintained offensive and momentum on other fronts. Now Wagner want to go back to Africa, having proven themselves to be Russias main capable fighting force.

Ballzproblem2:
4 names were discussed for the midfield:

• Kovačić: Tuchel sees him an option for #6 position, but bosses not convinced. Topic 'not hot'

• Verratti: was discussed but similar profile to Kimmich

[@Plettigoal]

tuchel talent id ☠️☠️☠️

Tuchel is horrible at talent id

Too busy chasing Brazilian girls when he is not on training pitch

One of the managers that does not watch football outside of planning his training sessions

benalvino3:
Ibime what do you have to say about Bakhmut?

A strategically insignificant city of 70k which Russia spent a year to grab, which the Ukrainians purposely let them exhaust their offensive capabilities in, at the expense of tens of thousands of Wagner lives, while Ukraine grabbed four times larger cities like Kherson in days. Bakhmut has done the job Ukraine purposed it for, now Wagner is spent and wants to return to Africa.

What happened to "give the Ukrainians everything they want" Benalvino? The anti-Western GQP far-right wing worked on your psyche?

What happened to Andrei Santos?

nateevs:
Yes to Thuram as well. I don't understand why we are not making shrewd signings. Mane is being auctioned for £35m. I will take a forward line of Nkunku, Thuram and Mane, whilst we allow the likes of Mudryk, Madueke and Mendel Idowu to develop and find their feet. Plus we still have Fofana and Broja for striking positions.

My first options will still be Hojlund, Orban and Mane.

Mane is an African, that him age add VAT on top. I see no need to take that risk. Orban is OK but only few months into his Gent stay, whether it's realistic they will let him go so soon, I'm not sure.

timbros:
True.

But the time it took for Fofana to misplace that pass and for Foden to set up Alvarez, Chalobah should have recovered defensive position.

Actually I thought Azpi messed up, he had Alvarez and got caught in no man's land. Chalobah had already spread far away to the byline

timbros:
Chalobah was miles out of position. He was suppose to mark Alvarez.

Go watch it again.

Chalobah has spread out for the pass as defences do when playing out from the back. Chelsea was in a build up phase, not a defensive phase. Fofana broke the phase with that panicked pass into midfield

nateevs:
I did. I rated Kane. In fact, Nihilist remembers calling me out for doing so.

I am not underrating Vlahovic. I am just thinking if €80m is first offer, then €80m will not get him. And that's already very expensive. Especially for 10 goals (12G/A) in Serie A.

Meanwhile, Hojlund on the other hand, at 20, is already matching Vla's numbers in the league. He is technically better, more tactically flexible, costs way less and the rest of the money should be going towards buying Gift Orban.

Vlahovic for $80m from that dead league is a disgrace

We are better off rejuvenating Lukaku to lose weight than pursuing a low scoring Serie A striker. Marcus Thuram on free transfer, plus Lukaku is OK

Itsrm:
Another argument is that the PDP is a useless opposition party. If anyone can go the length to dig deep against OBI, it's the APC. See how LP is even doing all the attack against APC while the useless PDP is nowhere to be found.

That's all it is.

Atikus fingers are also full of palm oil, he has no business going after Obi for corruption.

Like I said in my diary, I am a farmer, I live off grid. if you have a problem wit it, take ride and plunge into The Atlantic Ocean.

Do you know I add more economical growth to Nigeria's ailing economy than you do?

in 3 months, I'm adding at least 2 tons of rice paddy into the Nigeria food sector.

lol... for the respect I had for you, I'll ignore you.

Off grid, that's code for running to village. You will talk one weight here and 20% of that weight on your diary

2 tonnes of rice, that's about N1m wholesale, a miniscule fraction of my contribution to Nigerian GDP this year alone in remittances

Well there's dignity in labour. Keep up the farm work, as long as cassava turn to garri, I respect your grind.

You're 40yrs old my friend, how much do you worth?

You for bring Zuckerberg make the list complete

But when we do your own comparison, it will be against younger relatives in the village.

😂

you're probably in your late 40's, maybe 47, 48 or even 50 but you sound like an over spoilt kid.

reason they say fools grow old

you should bother more about you Intelligence Quotient, you mistake it with degrees you've got.

in 10 yrs you might be 60, I wonder if this is the kinda Grandpa any reasonable kid would want to have

the idiot deh screenshot wallet balance 😂, at 50 almost same age with Cubana. man you need to grow up.

make I reach your age before we start deh measure preeq, for now I'm 26, I'm happy with what I've achieved.

At 26 I hope you had built your personal house and own your personal car if not all you're saying is rubbish 😂😂

Don't get it confused, what you ran to the village to do at 26 for N200k per plot of land is what I had done in the financial capital of Europe at that age.

Make I clear you, there is 13 or 14 years age difference between us depending on when your birthday lands. We would see how 10 plots of subsistence farming will get you in 13 or 14 years, something that Usain Bolt will run around in 50 seconds. 13 years from now, you will not be where I was at the age you are now, that's if herdsmen don't catch you first.

HornyTave1:
Mr Ibime ,😏 in as much as I'm more matured than you to do this but I had to do it regardless.

You registered this account in 2007, everybody, old enough knows how expensive getting access to the internet was at that time, on The HornyTave scale, let's say you were 25 in 2007 ( you might be older or younger but let's say 25 for basis sake)

In 2009, you should be around 29, you were still fooling your self online doing rap battles 🥲 - how amusing, is it at 29, you wake up early in the morning wanting to fight somone Lyrically on the internet instead of doing something more meaningful with your life.

In 2011, at age 31, you ventured into music 😂 - you wanted to make something meaningful out of your life. Music that even your fans were ashamed to listen to, I searched for it sha 😁 I wanted to listen and promote it, maybe you'll finally blow, sha I know if them out grenade for your head, it wouldn't blow

I also noticed you were also into betting and gambling.

I should know I'm arguing with a pauper who doesn't know the price of internet in 2007

In 2007, I was doing my Masters having just completed a Maths with Economics degree, and now schooling you on basic economics while you talk about Yams and Cassava, the only way your low IQ mind could process economic data.

Let me keep it concise for you. Yes, I rapped for fun my whole life, I know nothing about betting. I do however trade stocks and crypto.

These are just few snapshots of what I was doing last week in that field while you were satisfying yourself with filling your belly with pineapples from your subsistence farming and reading Telegram propaganda. God has ensured that the wickedness in your heart towards Ukrainians getting murdered for simply trying to better their lot is reflected in your life. Don't confuse yourself, at no point in my adult life could I not buy out your miserable existence with one week of earnings, and the wickedness in your heart toward innocent citizens will ensure it stays that way.

Ellexy:
As dirty as APC play their politics and were desperate to get a dirt on Obi. One would think the so called Pandora report would be a jackpot to nail Peter Obi especially seeing he came out and dared them to produce just one proof of corruption against him.

The Keyamo's of this world couldn't do nothing because they had nothing but some nairaland experts know more than them.

APC were not desperate to down Obi. They needed Obi to take votes from Atiku

plat0:
I supported obi at some point but when you try to ask questions or put him on the spotlight, some of his overzealous supporters use harsh words on you. I read seyi makinde and Osinbanjo asset declaration a couple of years ago and I could see the millions of dollars they had in eurobond funds, I could see the properties seyi had in Texas, UK, Nigeria, South Africa, I could see the oil and gas assets he had in Nigeria, in Osinbanjos case, I could see the quantity of MTN shares he owned directly and his properties in ikoyi and the UK. I watched laundromat about 3 years ago and from that movie only people with sordid past or people with skeletons in their cupboards hide cash in tax havens, obi obviously got richer after his stint as governor, some things about him are always shrouded in secrecy, he's always trying to appear like a saint. If you're discerning you'd know that he's a crook, can any of his core supporters here furnish me with an article of his asset declaration? Just like Osinbanjo and makinde asset declaration are publicly available. You see obi is a banker , an experienced finance person, he can always come out to say he never stole money, just like soludo, Sanusi Lamido and off course Emefiele.

Excuse me, is Osinbajo the sole owner of MTN?

Because according to livelongnprospa logic if MTN is jointly owned by Osinbajo and others, he should not declare it

raumdeuter:
Likewise majority of our politicians who have never been convicted of corruption are saints

Is Buhari a thief? Do you believe he has never stolen public money?
Yet no one has accused nor convicted Buhari

Buhari even asked to prosecute him if you see any evidence that he has more than 150 cows, no house outside Nigeria, he drinks 10Naira Milo and those lamba he served us and no one has done that till today

So Buhari is also not a thief

lol. Buhari has always had a house in central London. I can give you the address.

Obi people should calm down. Even Peter Odili, Babangida, Wike, Tinubu and Atiku have never been convicted of anything.

All of EU neighbours are in EU or NATO. Of course the EU would love itself. 🤡 🤡

Were they in EU 25 years ago? They had a choice between democracy, freedom and prosperity of EU and autocracy and oppression of their neighbour Russia, and they fled from wickedness into prosperity.

Shoodboi:
The boldened makes no point. Where did you get the thousands of Georgian volunteers in Ukraine? You think Georgians will leave Georgia to fight for Ukraine? Why don't they stay in Georgia and fight for Georgia instead?

The so-called Georgian legion of the Ukrainian army is made up of foreigners and not just Georgians. It is small, less than a battalion size. And the commander, as I just found out, is a rebel that fought the Chechen war against Russia. He also took part in the 2013/2014 NATO-sponsored protests that overthrew a democratically elected president and installed puppets there.

During the protests, he participated in massacre of anti-NATO protesters. And in Ukraine, he murdered surrendered Russian soldiers. And ow, he's visited the US several times and has met with Congressmen. This one is fighting for his pocket and not for Georgia.

Shut up you clown. There is no such thing as NATO sponsored protest. Every side will support their interest as usual.

The Ukrainian populace have expressed their will and the Parliament has signed off on the EU deal. It is not the Presidents prerogative to subvert the will of the people in favour of poverty by rejecting EU deal and signing deal with Russia

Funny how you clowns talk about the Maidan protest of 2013 as the start of the problem, when a rogue President tried to subvert the will of Parliament , but won't talk about Russia's poisoning of the pro-EU President as far back as 2004

The Ukrainians want to escape poverty by joining the EU. Let them go, no be by force. If you have better economic proposal, nobody will fight you. They can see their neighbours becoming rich by joining EU, and you wicked people want them to live in poverty at the barrel of a gun. May you continue to suffer the poverty you wish on Ukrainians

Shoodboi:
It is also false that Russia sent Latvians to Siberia and replaced them with Russians? How is that even possible? Won't the Latvians cause problems in Siberia?

The truth is that Latvia got Russian-speakers when Russia ceded territory to it and not the other way around. Your talk of the Crimean Tartars is also laughable, so I won't even go into that. Crimea belonged to Russia and was handed to Ukraine by an Ukrainian leader of the Soviet Union. Russia asked for it after the Soviet Union separated in 1991 and Ukraine refused to give it back.

Shut up you liar. Russian crimes against the Crimean Tartars and Latvians are well known. Even Stalin's crimes have been admitted and exposed by Krushchev. Even his City of Stalingrad had to have his name changed because of his wickedness. May the wickedness you support continue to be reflected in your life as it already is.
