This annexation was provoked because Ukraine was becoming too close to the US/NATO Alliance. Russia is only being proactive. Something Nigerian politicians know nothing about. They are only good at reacting.
How can Fulanis come in their thousands all the way from Guinea and start giving Nigerians hell and till date nothing have done about it.

Stop analysing like a goat, the Rus are mixtures of different tribe from Scandinavians, they are not indigenous to many of areas they annexed like Georgia, Estonia, Latvia ,Belarus, Chechnyas Tartans etc and even close to the border of China the people there are ethnic Chinese

As a Nigerian you’re supporting the west at this modern age where we have technologies to unravel what really transpired during
slave trades, the Russians never came to Africa to take your
ancestors as slave and steal your resources, it’s the same
westerners and the US whom y’all drumming support for, despite
their atrocities committed against mankind right from the
beginning of our existence, countless times the west and US has
invaded countries like Libya, Yemen, Cuba Afghanistan Iraq Etc
yet nobody have thought about it but y’all criticizing Russia for
invading Ukraine, please emancipate yourselves from mental
slavery and media propaganda of the westerners they’ve been
lying to you and messing with your brain with media propaganda.
.

Listen and listen very well, a toad is better than and far intelligent than you
Your Africans brothers and sisters that are crossing the deserts to Libya in order to cross over to Europe via canoes is that not self slavery?
The women prostituting world over is that not self slavery?

Isn't it worse than the one your grandfather kidnapped their brothers, sisters, kinsmen and sold them off to slavery many years ago?

Ask yourself, why did your Chiefs and ancestors sold their people to slavery for ordinary lace materials, mirrors when no European forced them into?

Why didn't your useless ancestors know that selling their brothers was terrible, why didn't the Asians, Arabs sold their people to the Europeans?

Yet you blame the Europeans who also had to fight your chiefs like Jaja of Opobo, Oba Dosunmu and co to end slavery

Do you have any ideas the Numbers of non-Russians ethnic group in Russia and how the Russians have killed them by starvation, deportation and by guns?

What do you know of the Former Soviets union and since the arrivals of the Rus people into present Russia, do you know what is Russiafication of Russia by the ethnic Rus?

Do you know the Ukrainians are older than the Rus people in that territory?
Do you know what they have been suffering for years just like the the now Estonia Latvia Georgia Finland and others do you know people like the Tatars, Chechnyas, and others want their kingdom from the oppressive and domineering Russians.

Read more about Russians and know the manner of slavery they have done to non-Russians, your Africans going over there means nothing to them but the indigenous people of that vast country will tell you how they have suffered for ages, slavery that your fathers did dem still de learn work for Russian.

Anybody supporting Putin is either an ignoramus or a confirmed demon and finally don't use slavery as an useless excuse, all Africans need to apologize to Africans in the diaspora for the crime their fathers committed against their fellows Africans

African leaders are the most useless in the world. Whenever issues of racism come up, Africa must be in the picture.

Yet, these useless leaders don't deem it necessary to fix their countries so as to prove to the White man that Africans deserve some respect in the world.

Instead, they keep looting their scarce resources and keep stashing them away in the countries of those who look down on them.

The reason why Africans don't try to oppress non Africans is because a poor, hungry beggar cannot intimidate the rich man whose dustbin is his only source of food. Your leaders know this and they're the first people who will have you arrested if you try to discriminate against their oyinbo masters.

Western propaganda is so strong that even the Libyans were convinced that once they helped the west kill Gadaffi, their country would turn to Europe,

When the west wanted slave labour, they convinced the whole world that blacks were the missing evolutionary chain between monkeys and humans, even some blacks believed they were destined to be slaves by God!

Stop talking rubbish!
When it comes to slavery don't blame the Europeans but your useless chiefs and ancestors who went about kidnapping and selling their fellow tribesmen for ordinary tobacco, lace materials etc
The Europeans never raided any village for slaves but your ancestors, the European were better than the Arabs.
The Arabs raided and exterminated communities for slaves, they killed men and bred women for slavery
Most European waited in their ships for Africans to bring their fellow slaves to them and it still the Europeans that ended the slave trade despite the refusal of the likes of Jaja of Opobo and many Yoruba chiefs

Right now as we speak many of your brothers and sisters are in Libya waiting to cross with canoes to go for self slavery
Don't blame European for any slavery but your miserable greedy ancestors, chiefs, political leaders and now lazy youths.

Finally stop thinking like a monkey, don't expect the Europeans to be spoonfeding you, your future is in your hands and not the Europeans

Ehyaa, sorry.

But see ehn, whenever you're inside Keke or a moving vehicle, always try to hold your phone in your hand, don't put it in your pocket, it can slip of when you're trying to come down from the Keke, you can as well use a headphone and play music while holding it, to make you not to sleep off

POS transaction can't be traced, even if it is, it won't show names like John Olatunde, etc,, It will rather show User/agent 0025373 and stuffs like that, so trying to trace it, Neither "Agent" or "User" is anybody's real name


You see ehn, Nigerian has gotten to the point that nobody can be trusted, the country is hard, even if it was you that had such opportunity to swindle somebody's money, you might want to take the money, so it's better to encrypt your phone, Sim cards, etc to the extent that it will be difficult for somebody to get your money using your phone


That's why I don't blame people that lock almost every app on their phone, their reasons might be for situations like this

I know of a guy who openly told me he hacked somebody's bet9ja account with over 300k in the account because the guy lose guarded his phone, he used the money there to play games till he boosted the money to over 6 million and added his own account and withdrew the funds.


Everybody get red eyes like this, keep your gadgets save and tightly encrypted.
.



So, you mean to tell me that the anybody can just lose his or her money just because of losing the phone

Then what is the use of having a bank account or having an ATM card?

The banks in Nigeria are not fit to operate any online services

Foreign AffairsRe: Russia-Ukraine Crisis: Why I Stand With Russia. by KingOKON: 10:52am On Mar 06, 2022
Idaytesj29:
To understand the #ukrainecrisis, four dates are very important, 1962, 1989, 2008 and 2014.

Lets begin:

(1). [/b]1962[b]
In 1962, the Soviet Union/Russia tried to install a military hardware in Cuba, which threatens US directly because Cuba border them by water. The then president of US, Kennedy threatened Russia with World War if they do not remove their military installation. The Soviet premier Nikiti Khrucshev rebuffed him which brought the world close to nuclear Armageddon, where it took 13days of negotiation, military diplomacy, death of an American military pilot, destruction of an American spy plane and the removal of American missiles from Turkey, to solve. That's what we came to know as The Cuban missile crises of 1962.

(2). [/b]1989[b]

The Berlin wall fell in 1989 and the process of the integration of the western and eastern Germany started. 1989 is really important because as the process of integration were going on, James Baker, the US secretary of state promised the Soviet union/Russia that NATO (military organization led by the Americans) will not expand one inch towards the Russian border. This promise went a long way to facilitate the unification of Germany as we know it today. This is significant because when the Soviet union fell in 1991, the US broke that promise in multiple ways by expanding NATO to the Russian borders to include countries like Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic etc. Fastward to....

(3). [/b]2008[b]
In 2008 during NATO summit held in Romania, there was a very strange push by the then President of US, George Bush, to include Georgia and Ukraine as members of NATO (remember 1962, Georgia and Ukraine shares a land border with Russia), Germany, France and Italy rejected the idea, but the Americans forced a very aggressive line in the final communique, it says: 'Nato will not accept Georgia and Ukraine today, but they will be members someday'. Alarm bells went off in Moscow. Putin then said that including Ukraine and Georgia in NATO will be a threat to Russian security, he reminded the world of America's reaction when the Russians tried the same thing in '62. He further stated that it will emboldened them on a military adventure against Russia. This Putin's statement came true because some months later, then Georgian president, Mikhail Saakashvili, who was emboldened by George Bush after he visited Tbilisi, fired multiple rockets towards South Ossetia, which killed six Russian soldiers who were stationed in the breakaway region. This led to war between Russia and Georgia durind the Beijing Olympics.
Russia destroyed Georgia.

(4). [/b]2014[b]
In 2013, the EU offered Ukraine a trade deal, and Russia offered Ukraine a counter trade deal (details can come later). Ukrainian President then YanuKovich, accepted the Russian trade deal saying that Ukraine and Russia has a long history of trade and it will be difficult for their companies to compete in the European market. This angered the US and they mobilized a protest against the president using the western part of Ukraine population against him, (Ukraine is an evenly divided country between east and west. the president was from the east, voted for by the people in the east, hated by the people in the west, and the capital is in the west. Imagine Buhari voted for by the northerners, hated by the southerners, and the Nigerian capital in Anambra). Imagine a protest in Ukraine where an American senator, Late John McCain, American ambassador to Ukraine, McFaul and assistant secretary of state, Victoria Nuland, were at the centre of the protest in Maidan, Kyiv, giving them cookies and bread urging them to overthrow their democratically elected president just because they didn't accept their trade deal.

That led to the downfall of the Ukrainian President in the early months of 2014. The eastern part of Ukraine which voted mostly for the president rejected the overthrow and said they won't be part of that Ukraine, and declared independence.
It led to a situation where Crimea declared Independence from Ukraine and voted to be part of Russia, Russia accepted. Donetsk and Luhansk equally declared independence which led to a brief war with Ukraine, Russia helped them push back Ukrainian forces and the conflict was frozen, with daily skirmishes on the front lines since 2014. Putin recognized their Independence last week. Fastward.....

[/b]Today[b]
How Putin tried to avoid this war.

In a 2007 speech made by Vladimir Putin in Munich, Germany, he warned the US that bringing Ukraine into NATO will create a war in Europe because there's no way Russia will ever allow American military Machinery to Russian doorsteps just like US refused in 1962. The Americans laughed at him.

In 2016, he called the then president of France, Francois Hollande, to restructure the security architect of Europe because the US is trying to bring Ukraine into NATO and equally sign a bilateral military pact with Ukraine which will bring US military facilities to Russian borders. The French president acknowledged but did nothing. (This happened because the Obama wanted to use that bilateral military pact to punish Putin for humiliating him with his intervention in Syria to save Assad (president of Syria) whom the US wanted to overthrow.

Last year, 2021, Putin wrote the same letter of security to US and EU that Ukraine should become a non military aligned nation just like Finland but they laughed at him, Ukraine said they can do whatever they want because they are a sovereign nation.

Imagine the US response if Russia is to install military weapons in Canada and Mexico.

Towards the end of last year, Joe Biden (who wants to show that he is not Trump, whom they accused of being Putin's puppet) started supplying weapons to Ukraine, installing military equipment in the name of defending Ukraine...

... that was Putin's red line and they have crossed it.

[/b]A Criminal Comedy of Suicidal Errors[b]

[/b]WESTERN STRATEGIC THINKERS WHO HAD WARNED OF UKRAINIAN CONFLICT (a compilation by @RnaudBertrand)[b]

1. [/b]George Kennan,[b] America's foreign policy strategist, the architect of the U.S. cold war strategy. As early as 1998 he warned that NATO expansion was a "tragic mistake" that ought to ultimately provoke a "bad reaction from Russia".

2. [/b]Kissinger, in 2014.[b] He warned that "to Russia, Ukraine can never be just a foreign country" and that the West therefore needs a policy that is aimed at "reconciliation".
He was also adamant that "Ukraine should not join NATO"

3. [/b]John Mearsheimer -[b] arguably the leading geopolitical scholar in the US today - in 2015: "The West is leading Ukraine down the primrose path and the end result is that Ukraine is going to get wrecked [...] What we're doing is in fact encouraging that outcome."

4. [/b]Jack F. Matlock Jr.,[b] US Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987-1991, warning in 1997 that NATO expansion was "the most profound strategic blunder, [encouraging] a chain of events that could produce the most serious security threat [...] since the Soviet Union collapsed"

5. [/b]Clinton's defense secretary William Perry[b] explained, in his memoir, that to him NATO enlargement is the cause of "the rupture in relations with Russia" and that in 1996 he was so opposed to it that "in the strength of my conviction, I considered resigning".

6. [/b]Stephen Cohen,[b] a famed scholar of Russian studies, warning in 2014 that "if we move NATO forces toward Russia's borders [...] it's obviously gonna militarize the situation [and] Russia will not back off, this is existential"

7. [/b]CIA director Bill Burns[b] in 2008: "Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for [Russia]" and "I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests". (He was then Ambassador to Moscow in 2008 when he wrote this memo). He is now director of the CIA. ‘08 memo ‘Nyet Means Nyet: Russia's NATO Enlargement Redlines’

8. [/b]Russian-American journalist Vladimir Pozner[b], in 2018, stated that: NATO expansion in Ukraine is unacceptable to the Russian, that there has to be a compromise where "Ukraine, guaranteed, will not become a member of NATO."

9. [/b]Malcolm Fraser, 22nd prime minister of Australia,[b] warned in 2014 that "the move east [by NATO is] provocative, unwise and a very clear signal to Russia". He adds that this leads to a "difficult and extraordinarily dangerous problem".

10. [/b]Paul Keating,[b] former Australian PM, in 1997: expanding NATO is "an error which may rank in the end with the strategic miscalculations which prevented Germany from taking its full place in the international system [in early 20th]"

11. [/b]Former US defense secretary Bob Gates[b] in his 2015 memoirs: "Moving so quickly [to expand NATO] was a mistake. [...] Trying to bring Georgia and Ukraine into NATO was truly overreaching [and] an especially monumental provocation"

12. [/b]Pat Buchanan[b], in his 1999 book A Republic, Not an Empire: "By moving NATO onto Russia's front porch, we have scheduled a twenty-first-century confrontation."

13. [/b]In 1997, a group of individuals including Robert McNamara, Bill Bradley & Gary Hart[b] wrote a letter to Bill Clinton warning the "US led effort to expand NATO is a policy error of historic proportions" and would "foster instability" in Europe. Today it's fringe, traitorous position.

14. [/b]Pat Buchanan,[b] in his 1999 book A Republic, Not an Empire: "By moving NATO onto Russia's front porch, we have scheduled a twenty-first-century confrontation."

15. [/b]Dmitriy Trenin[b] expressed concern that Ukraine was, in the LT, the most potentially destabilizing factor in US-Russian relations, given the level of emotion & neuralgia triggered by its quest for NATO membership.

16. [/b]Sir Roderic Lyne,[b] former British ambassador to Russia, warned a year ago that "[pushing] Ukraine into NATO [...] is stupid on every level." He adds "if you want to start a war with Russia, that's the best way of doing it."

17. [/b]Even last year, famous economist Jeffrey Sachs[b], writing a column in the FT warning that "NATO enlargement is utterly misguided and risky. True friends of Ukraine, and of global peace, should be calling for a US and NATO compromise with Russia."

18. [/b]Fiona Hill[b] :"We warned [George Bush] that Mr. Putin would view steps to bring Ukraine and Georgia closer to NATO as a provocative move that would likely provoke pre-emptive Russian military action. But ultimately, our warnings weren’t heeded."

19. [/b]Aleksandr Dugin[b], in 1997, had predicted everything that Putin has done, in his book "Foundation of Geopolitics."

[/b]EVERYBODY knew that trying to rope Ukraine into NATO was crossing Russia's red line, but now people would like to hold up Russia as a villain. After having done everything to teeter on the redline. And this happened only AFTER Biden came to power.[b]

You are not standing with Russia but the mad man, Putin.
Even Russians have all disassociated themselves from the lunatic, so plz instead of writing all this epistles of nonsense go tell that lunatic to conduct a free open and fair election in Russia and see if even a dog will vote for him
If Goberchev and Yeltsin had hold on like the way he is doing would he have been President?
Tell the fool his days are numbered and in the hands of fellow Russians will he meet his downfall
