......The Scientist is Here......

Evil party with evil broom. I'll never forgive APC for all their fake promises. Do you know i actually believed APC could make one dollar equal to one naira? If i had listened to my elder brother, i wouldn't have supported this evil party in 2015. God punish anything directly or remotely connected to APC.

Lol......

Abeg oo

Nigeria is connected to them oo

Prophet,

Sir ferguson was mostly successful because VAR was not in existence then. So man u could cheat other teams for their win. If Alex ferguson was still coach man u will still suffer same fate. VAR exposed man u. Offside goals, undeserved red cards unnecessary penalties, cheap handball penalties.

Hmmmmm.....

Interesting...

deytoongee:
To say "no remarkable impact" isn't particularly correct. He contributed majorly to United winning the UEL under Mourinho and won 2 League cups for United. The club itself has/had fundamental issues that would make any talented player lose form and go on a downward spiral. Unfortunately, the guy has to take the blame for an unserious club and their lackluster performances over the years.

Ok.... I see

Your Uncle wants to divorce his wife Because she is not financially supportive .... ?

He never ready for marriage.

You don't collect Money from a woman by force or by calling for family meetings.

1- He must be a weak man in Bed....

There is a way you would touch and treat a woman in bed, she would give you a blank cheque.

She would give you the ATM Card with the current pin code.

Your Uncle is not Romantic.....

2- If you want to chop your wife money, make sure you are "LOYAL"

Not because you are a fool and it will NEVER make you less of a man.

But because you know what you want.

If you are LOYAL to your wife, you are LOYAL to yourself because the two of you are one.

Your wives money is your money but a woman would hardly release her cash unless she is treated with RESPECT.

Your Uncle is a Bush Man for calling family members because of this kind issue.

Some of the family members he called to settle the matter have wives that may be feeding them.

Your Uncle should rather learn from them and understand why they are not calling for family meetings about their marriage.

This Fat guy just ruled himself out of Contention for the Presidential Ticket with this his statement.

He does not Exemplify any of the qualities he mentioned above.

He plans to endorse someone on the day of the Presidential primaries..

I suspect B......A......T

Abeg make he dey go....

No remarkable impact despite the record breaking transfer fee.

I knew that Man United would struggle for a long time if Sir Alex retires.

May God bless his retirement.

May this new coach last long and be successful like Sir Alex.

BoBo Texas...

Once a Guyman, always a Guyman....

Buhari want to play Tinubu Ojoro...

And many are worried.

Ultimatesammie:
This is stupid, they both went to work and she cooked for him yet he rejected the initial food to ask for pepper soup, why didn't he ask before she cooked the 1st one, she's also a human being .

Mistake No 1

Why didn't the lady ask her Husband what he would like to eat that evening ..... ?

The Side-chick does that from time to time. And the man sees that gesture as a sign that the side-chick loves him more than the wife does.

At the Office, Madam should call the husband and ask :

"Honey, how was your day ? What would you like to eat tonight ?"

The Side-chick has been the one calling the man at the office..

Madam don loose guard.

Mistake No 2

You don't tell your husband that his request is NOT POSSIBLE....

Our Mothers did not talk like this ooo...

Side-chicks hardly talk like that ooo......

Whisper into his ears :

"Honey you know I can't cook pepper soup tonight, besides I have not bought the fish that you normally like".......

While you use one hand to rub his head and the second hand to rub his chest.

If he continues to insist, go down low with your first hand.......

Grab his Dick (Your Property) and massage it because he may be thinking with his Prick at that moment.

His mind go come down. He go relax fast because Men loves petting.

We see Petting as a display of True Love.

(If your Sister-inlaw pet your Brother like this, would you not give her pass mark ?........ Talk True)

Only a Demon possessed man would not relax after such a move from the wife...

That is a sign that he hates the wife and may be looking for a means to get rid of her.

Having said all that...

I don't believe in the Enslavement of wives in a marriage. A Man that truly loves the wife should not subject her to certain stress.

If my wife's petting cannot cool my temper, nothing stops me from cooking my pepper soup.....

MALIGNANTGuest:
This man own pass my own oooo
This one na "Ogaaaaaaa"...
It's very bad if he truly called his Wife " LAZY"
He has right to seek the services of his "sidechick" nicodemusly provided he's not yet married to her but not openly, as purported by his bewildered wife. We have to call this "Oga" to order!

Lol....

Nicodemusly.......

I have learnt another grammar today.

Here is the response by countries and companies regarding purchases of Russian oil since the war in Ukraine started on Feb. 24.

Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States have imposed outright bans on Russian oil purchases, while Group of Seven (G7) nations, including Japan, committed to ban or phase out imports of Russian oil on May 8.

The European Union agreed on May 30 to ban seaborne imports of Russian oil with a phase-in period of six months for crude oil and eight months for refined products.

The ban excludes oil supplied via the Druzhba pipeline thus allowing refineries in Eastern Europe and Germany to continue imports. Poland and Germany, however, said they would phase out all purchases via the pipeline by the end of 2022.

That would in total cover about 90% of Russian oil imports to the EU.

Even before the adoption of the ban, at least 26 major European refiners and trading companies have voluntarily suspended spot purchases or announced plans to phase out a combined 2.1 million barrels per day (bpd) of Russian imports, according to JP Morgan.

Meanwhile, China and India, which have refused to condemn Russia's actions, are benefiting from discounts on Russian crude.

India has received 34 million barrels of discounted Russian oil since Moscow invaded Ukraine, according to Refinitiv Eikon data, and is set to receive about 28 million barrels in June, according to Refinitiv Eikon oil flows.

Below are current and former buyers of Russian crude (in alphabetical order):

The Chinese military said on Wednesday it had conducted in recent days a combat readiness patrol in the sea and airspace around the island of Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory.

The troops have continually strengthened their training and preparedness for war, and will thwart any interference by external forces or ploy seeking "Taiwan independence", according to a statement from the Chinese military.

Taiwan on Monday reported the largest incursion since January by China's air force in its air defence zone. The island's defence ministry said Taiwanese fighters scrambled to warn away 30 aircraft in the latest uptick in tensions.

China has been particularly unhappy with U.S. support for Taiwan.

U.S. President Joe Biden angered China last week by appearing to signal a change in an American policy of “strategic ambiguity” on Taiwan by saying the United States would become involved militarily if China were to attack the island.

U.S. officials said there had been no change in policy.

In a statement, the People’s Liberation Army Eastern Theatre Command said the combat “readiness patrol” had happened around Taiwan in recent days and was “a necessary action against U.S.-Taiwan collusion.”

“Recently, the United States has frequently made moves on the Taiwan issue, saying one thing and doing another, instigating support for Taiwan independence forces, which will push Taiwan into a dangerous situation,” the command added.

Taiwan is part of China and Chinese troops continue to strengthen military training and preparations to “thwart” interference from external forces’ and actions by those who support Taiwan independence, it said.

While the statement did not given an exact date for when the drill happened, Taiwan on Monday reported the largest incursion since January by China’s air force in its air defence zone. The island’s defence ministry said Taiwanese fighters scrambled to warn away 30 aircraft.

Taiwan has complained repeatedly of such missions in its Air Defence Identification Zone, or ADIZ.

No shots have been fired and the Chinese aircraft have not been flying in Taiwan’s air space, but in its ADIZ, a broader area Taiwan monitors and patrols that acts to give it more time to respond to any threats.

U.S. President agrees to send advanced rockets to Ukraine

Russian troops fought to take complete control of the eastern industrial city of Sievierodonetsk on Wednesday as the United States said it will provide Ukraine with advanced rockets to help it force Moscow to negotiate an end to the war.


U.S. President Joe Biden said Washington would provide Ukraine with more advanced rocket systems and munitions so it can “more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield.”

“We have moved quickly to send Ukraine a significant amount of weaponry and ammunition so it can fight on the battlefield and be in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table,” Biden wrote in an opinion piece in the New York Times on Tuesday.

A senior Biden administration official said weaponry provided would include the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), which Ukraine’s armed forces chief said a month ago was “crucial” to counter Russian missile attacks.

Addressing concerns the provision of such weapons could draw the United States into a direct conflict with Russia, senior administration officials said Kyiv gave “assurances” the missiles would not be used to strike inside Russia.

“These systems will be used by the Ukrainians to repel Russian advances on Ukrainian territory, but they will not be used on targets in Russian territory,” the U.S. official told reporters.

The latest U.S. pledge of weapons for Ukraine – on top of billions of dollars worth of equipment already provided including anti-aircraft missiles and drones – came as Russia pressed its assault to seize the eastern Donbas region, having abandoned its earlier thrust toward Kyiv from the north.

Russian troops have now taken control of most of the eastern industrial city of Sievierodonetsk in Luhansk, one of two provinces in the Donbas, regional Governor Serhiy Gaidai on Tuesday.

Nearly all critical infrastructure in Sievierodonetsk had been destroyed and 60% of residential property damaged beyond repair, he added. Russian shelling had made it impossible to deliver aid or evacuate people.

A Russian victory in Sievierodonetsk and its twin city of Lysychansk across the Siverskyi Donets river would bring full control of Luhansk, one of two eastern provinces Moscow claims on behalf of separatists.

A pro-Moscow separatist leader said Russian proxies had advanced slower than expected to “maintain the city’s infrastructure” and exercise caution around its chemical factories.

“We can say already that a third of Sievierodonetsk is already under our control,” Russia’s TASS state news agency quoted Leonid Pasechnik, the leader of the pro-Moscow Luhansk People’s Republic, as saying.

Gaidai warned Sievierodonetsk residents not to leave bomb shelters due to what he said was a Russian air strike on a nitric acid tank.

The Luhansk People’s Republic’s police force said Ukraine’s forces had damaged it. Ukraine and Russian-backed separatists traded accusations over a similar incident in April.

Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council aid agency which had long operated out of Sievierodonetsk, said he was “horrified” by its destruction.

Up to 12,000 civilians remain caught in crossfire, without sufficient access to water, food, medicine or electricity, Egeland said.

“The near-constant bombardment is forcing civilians to seek refuge in bomb shelters and basements, with only few precious opportunities for those trying to escape,” he said.

WEAPONS PACKAGE

Kyiv says weapons sent by the United States and other countries since the start of the invasion have helped fend off Russian gains.

The high mobility artillery rocket systems are part of a $700 million weapons package expected to be unveiled by the United States on Wednesday.

The package also includes ammunition, counter fire radars, a number of air surveillance radars, additional Javelin anti-tank missiles, as well as anti-armor weapons, officials said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called for more weapons while lambasting the European Union, which agreed on Monday to cut imports of Russian oil, for not sanctioning energy from Moscow sooner.

The EU said it would ban imports of Russian oil by sea. Officials said that would halt two-thirds of Russia’s oil exports to Europe at first, and 90% by the end of this year.

Responding to the EU oil embargo, Moscow widened its gas cuts to Europe in a move that pushed up prices and ratcheted up its economic battle with Brussels.

Putin launched his “special operation” in February to disarm and “denazify” Ukraine. Ukraine and its Western allies call this a baseless pretext for a war to seize territory.

Ukraine accuses Moscow of war crimes on a huge scale, flattening cities and killing and raping civilians. Russia denies the accusations.

Breakingviews: Oil embargo will hurt Putin more than EU

After some hesitation, the European Union has decided to ban most Russian oil imports.

Replacing Urals crude with more expensive Brent will swell the bloc’s already red-hot energy bill. Still, the move will shrink Moscow’s most lucrative export revenue source and help stunt Vladimir Putin’s war machine.

The bloc’s new sanctions package, due to be formalised by EU leaders later on Tuesday, envisages an immediate ban on 75% of Europe’s imports of Russian crude.

This will rise to 90% by year end. The partial embargo is intended to allow naysayer Hungary and other landlocked countries to continue to import Russian oil via pipeline.

The uneven implementation of Europe’s most powerful sanctions tool is an eyesore. It will also result in a higher energy bill for already strained consumers.

The EU has been importing between 3 and 3.7 million barrels of Russian Urals oil per day, says Rystad Energy. Replacing 75% of that with $120-a-barrel Brent would imply an extra cost of at least $2 billion a month.

Yet the embargo is still significant. Russian exports of crude oil and condensate amounted to $110 billion, more than a fifth of Moscow’s entire commodity export proceeds in 2021.

Even though oil can be more easily shipped elsewhere than gas, Russia will struggle to fully replace those lost EU exports.

India has been buying record amounts of discounted Russian crude, but is already running its refineries above their official capacity, RBC analysts say.

China has yet to ramp up imports, but its economy is less buoyant following extensive Covid lockdowns. And the EU embargo will discourage non-Russian tankers from transporting Moscow’s crude.

Russia could earn at least $8.1 billion per month by exporting 3 million barrels per day to the EU at current Urals crude prices.

Rystad analysts say Moscow may be able to reroute at best 1 million of the barrels previously destined for the EU, implying that exports of 3 million barrels will quickly shrink to just 1.75 million barrels.

That means lost revenue of at least $3.4 billion per month in the initial phase of the embargo, or just over 40% of Moscow’s estimated monthly proceeds from EU exports, Breakingviews calculations show.

That loss could rise to at least $4.5 billion a month once the full EU ban kicks in. The EU oil embargo will hurt Russia more than Europe.

This Tambuwal get sense ...

Funflipper:
It will be unfair to lay the blame on Tinubu when we all know how the hausa/fulanis hijacked the goverment and alienated him almost immediately PMB was sworn in while you people cheered them on.

Tinubu brought Bubu to power and never for once criticize his useless Government.
