CSTRR:
Nothing.

It's cold and uninhabitable.
Even Putin don't want it.

The only reason why Russia would regret selling it is because of the strategic advantage it gave the US to become an Arctic nation.

Without Alaska, the United States would not have been a member of the Arctic nations.

Most of the Arctic is claimed by Russia along with Norway.

CSTRR:
Na
Russia won't have been to able to keep Alaska.
It's too far off from their mainland and the UK or france which were the greatest powers of that era would have annexed it.

So they sold to the US to counter the UK and to get needed Funds.

LIONSABRE:
I am quite sure that Russia will be regretting ever selling Alaska to US.

Olam09:
I hate people who pretend to be intellectual.. the guy was actually true in his argument.. type into google see if google won't prove the foolish op and it's dull supporters wrong.

DerrickzB:
This is misleading, how can the west and east be at each other’s back?? You obviously got to the end of the map and your smart phone showed you where it started again!! You should understand this, if US was that close to Russia so why are they attacking Ukraine for wanting to join nato??

Kingsnairaland:
The objective of this operation was never about Kiev. The pressure on Kiev is to force a political concession from the Ukrainian government with regards to Crimea and the Donbass.

The real objectives in no particular order seem to be

1. Liberation of the Donbass up their original borders
2. Demilitarization and Degrading of Ukraine's military capabilities.
3. Relieving the Siege of Crimea - through unblocking of the canals and linking it to the Dnieper river. That's why they took Kherson city.
4. Creating a land bridge from Crimea through Donbass all the way to Rostov in Russia. This is why conquering Mariupol is key.
5. Extending the land bridge westwards from Crimea to Odessa by conquering Mykolaiv, which was a major shipyard in Soviet times. Doing this will effectively deprive Ukraine from access to the sea and make it a landlocked country.
6. Destroy the Azov Battalion in Donbass. They are all now in Mariupol. Those in Volnovakha have been killed or surrendered.
7. Capture all Nuclear powerplants in Ukraine - to prevent Ukraine from having access to materials to create weapons.

All of the above objectives are largely being achieved albeit slowly due to resistance.

The attacks on Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv and other cities in the North are to tie down Ukrainian forces and prevent them from coming to the South.

God bless putin God bless mother Russia.

[s]Bayelsa corruption is another gear. Same with Delta State. Chop the money useless mentality of thieves parading as leaders of the two States. Thieves[/s]

Tomek09:
[s]Despite having only 8 LGAs. Na corruption dey kill Bayelsa. Niger Deltans are too corrupt minded for my liking. Chop the money mentality at the detriment of their poor people. Sad[/s]

Opokutism:
See Bayelsa my beloved state fighting relegation

KensonAbule:
Rivers topping the list.
Kudos to our 001

boyfrank:
That of lagos is understandable as its the countries most populous state with all tribes duely represented. But Rivers? The violence there is alarming. Cult everywhere.

superCleanworks:
on the beat.

90 percent burns.

In Nigeria he would surely die before getting to see a doctor after they refer him to 7 different hospitals and finally tell him to deposit 7 million naira and police report.

immortalcrown:
It is obvious that you used the time for English class to learn insults. Continue.

immortalcrown:
Can't you ask your question without insults? Even if you disagree with my claim that Lagos and Cross River are next to Akwa Ibom, does it mean everything I said is nonsense?

A loan collected by a state government is supposed to be publicized. Not doing it makes the loan secret. It is bad. Akwa Ibom is not the only state guilty of it. Naija is so corrupt that what the public deserves to know is often kept secret.

immortalcrown:
[s]Bad. I keep telling psychopaths that the quality of a government regime is not in how many infrastructures done by the regime. The quality is in the cost and the standard of the infrastructure. It is not about how many projects, it is about the cost and the standard of each project (quality over quantity). Some governors or states dubiously build low-standard projects at a very high cost. Some governors or states sincerely and rationally build high-standard projects at a low cost.

EXAMPLES:
Governor A did 10 projects and embezzled more than 200% of the actual cost of the 10 projects. Governor B did 5 projects and embezzled less than 20% of the actual cost of the 5 projects. Governor C did only two projects without any embezzlement of funds. Psychopaths will rate Governor A the best and rate Governor C the worst even if you tell them that Governor C is the only one innocent of embezzlement. This is why the intention behind an action matters more than the action itself. Why do some successors demolish projects started by predecessors instead of completing those projects? Why do some wait till towards the end of their tenures before starting meaningful projects? Do the delay and the demolition favour the masses? Does the demolition recover public funds spent on the project? The answer is no but fools support those things out of sentiments.

But at least, Akwa Ibom State has something to show, unlike other states that use substandard projects to fool people. Akwa Ibom builds GOOD roads (quality over quantity). Every road built in Akwa Ibom lasts beyond 10 years without any porthole or maintenance. Only Lagos, Abuja and Cross River are next to Akwa Ibom. For other states, the roads develop potholes within 4 years and get reconstructed within 10 years. Do not misunderstand me, I am not trying to justify any corrupt act in Akwa Ibom[/s].

sageb:
Where is that Udom hypeman called Illaumoh aka Hunchogee aka Nkanakpanika. Udom have failed his people.

ProudImolite:
I know of Imo state and Akwa Ibom. Rivers state, Delta state, Kano, Lagos will also do well because they can raise the funds to carry out this. Other states aside this above 6 na question mark. Although Abia state has geometric already in the pipeline

DankemzI:
Akwa Ibom State has Ibom Power plant (IPP) with a 5,000 capacity and plans to expand to 15,000 which is achivable with our massive gas reserve!
This will make Akwa Ibom the most industrialized state in the Niger Delta

jamjo:
Whether we are talking about Rivers, Osun, Kano states, or you calling me a liar, it does not matter. All matters, as of today in Nigeria when it comes to the number of flyovers both completed and uncompleted Lagos, Abuja, and [s]Ebonyi State have the most that are the fact as I have been saying pack your bag travel to Ebonyi you will get all the pictures you want because the facts are there for you to see. Note when you decide to visit Ebonyi, that is if you have traveled out of your state since you were born don't just go to Abakiliki alone because the flyovers are not in Abakiliki alone.[/s]

Jonegonu:
how many power plant is there in port harcourt

Oil price during johnny regime was 91 to 130 dollars per barrel from 2010 to 14, and fell to 75 dollars in 2015.

Bubu? 75 dollars in 2015, 30 dollars in 2016 and between 50 to 80 dollars. Year of covid it was as low as 20 to 25 dollars. It has only gotten as high as 100 dollars in 3 weeks, while gej had it above 100 dollars for 2 to 3 years.

You are comparing 3 weeks with 2 years.

Even then, Buhari should have taken the chance to diversify. He did not. That's why we have had a bad economy under him.

Nigeria cannot rely upon oil again. Not since 1981

Johnnyessence:
A big fat lie here, [s]wike has created enormous jobs for the Rivers state people.[/s] Now he want to renovate Ken saro wiwa dilapidated complex building in port Harcourt. Wike is doing great. go to port Harcourt and see things for your self.

sweetjohn:
[s]Believe whatsoever you want mad man. You think am so jobless like you going to snap flyovers just to convince a fool who would probably not believe a shit. I used to be a fool like you doubting everything said about Ebonyi until I travelled there recently. I weep in Shame due to my ignorance. That's why I said you will continue to be a fool arguing nonsense until you go there. Besides, Ebonyi flyovers and other project had been on social media for long with pics both in Facebook, Twitter and even nairaland. Someone even send the link here but as usual an ignoramus would also be an ignoramus and you want me to be snapping pics to you. For what? Oga, infact, Ebonyi has no flyover. Hope you are happy now[/s]

mrksquare:
