I wonder what these foolish countries see in NATO to warrant the supreme price of the destruction of their Nation and the lost of their people, instead of wisely remaining NEUTRAL as an independent country........... Now will someone please warn these countries before they escalate this war further?

Bros open your eyes well well….

It is the same countries that are remaining Neutral that Putin is attacking and killing!

Ironically he has never attacked any country who have joined NATO.

If I were Finland or Sweden, this is the perfect time to join NATO, despite the talks Russia cannot open another war front now.

SarkinYarki:
What nonsense, so Russia should allow you supply the enemy with weapon? All supply lines are legit target in war

Bros, talk is cheap…..make Putin go attack NATO convoy na!

JooEeL:
Yes I do but Im an Oduduwa supporter. Most importantly, Im not just pro-separatism. It's not just separation. Its about classism.

The way identified groups and even tribes are not negotiated with... as if we are lesser beings. How a few people assume what is best for a group or race of people. How unity is just forced and joined. As if we are without a will.

The nonsense gat to stop. Who be slave?

Once Ukraine's president comes out to say "Enough is enough. I want a referendum conducted by U.N in Russian speaking-parts of Ukraine"... that very day, you will see me humbly recoil into my corner.

I want what you want too, but I believe you know that goal primary goal is not to liberate the Russia speaking part of Ukraine, he wants to ultimately determination who Ukraine becomes friends with.

I think at this point Ukraine would accept Crimea, and also the self determination of the Eastern Ukraine region if Russia will accept them been friends with NATO.

I am from Delta and need the Midwestern Region of Nigeria to be it’s own Country or a true federating region along the 1960 era regions where power decentralized.

JooEeL:
There's some level of hypocrisy in your words mister. Why call it their country? Do you pretend not to know that there are large swathes of Russian-speaking parts in Luhanski and Donetsk region that want to opt out? Same with Crimea. Why did the West not recognise their referendum in 2014? Who is the west to decide who clamours for separation and those who don't? Why is it these most important parts that the prejudiced Western media keep playing a blind eye to?

So as much as you speak for the sovereignty of Ukraine, please speak for the regions that seek for separation -- it's their right too.

Bros we no dey fight….Though I know that Crimea referendum was pushed and implemented by Russia, but like you indicated any region that want to self rule should be given the right to.

I hope you supports the same for IPOB and strongly advocates for their rights to self determination as well.

JooEeL:
OK Mr. bravest. Ukraine has solicited for fghting assistance against the Russians, open for blacks like you. Go and help them, mr bravest.

Bros, I am not fighting any man’s war….it is their Country and pride and theirs to defend and fight for.

They are brave and must be commended, the truth is Russia too far….if 9ja is invaded today, I am not even carrying placard talkless of fighting to defend it, let the polithiefians and their kids fight to protect 9ja, because they stand to lose more.

alabo1:
Like I said read you people won't. All the rockets that power/guide the orbital segments are Russian. Once in orbit the ISS requires no further propulsion system as it moves on the generated velocity once in orbit. In order words it was Russian rockets that sent all the orbital segments to space and it will require Russian rockets to do a safe reentry. So for it to be decommissioned safely it has to be GUIDED into a planned reentry orbit by rockets of which only Russian rockets are capable. You think the head of the Russian space agency does not know what he was talking about? I am not an astronaut or aero physicist but I at least read widely and understand. Peace unto you as you research further

That was then, the US now have the capability of controlling the whole ISS complex, read about the arrival of Cygnus spacecraft built by aerospace company Northrop Grumman on the ISS a few days back to transfer that capability to the US as well.

Rogozin From Russia Space Agency, talk a lot of nonsense, read about his previous hyperbole and comments.

He is has been anti-Ukraine for many years and just using hyperbole to predict doomsday on ISS when despite the current conflict and sanction ISS operations and Russia Space explorations are clearly isolated from these sanctions.

He is also mad at the US especially Space X and dragon for removing the monologue enjoyed by Russia Soyuz since US suspended their government funded space rockets in 2011. Space X is now giving Soyuz strong competition, now for Russia to cancel oneweb space launch, oneweb retaliated by canceling all future space launches on Soyuz, they have done about 400 before the cancellation by Roscosmos, guess who is going to get those oneweb contracts? Yes the US and Space X, the very object of Rogozin hate.

JooEeL:
How many of them?

The same way a few Yoruba girls from one religious school like that were hired to speak against Yoruba nation in 2021. No be new tactic na.

They are more brave than you hiding behind a keyboard and an avatar and it is not the same as hired speakers.

Putin is arresting, silencing and killing those who oppose him, despite all that these are coming to the public to criticize him and putting their names out there, no one will be surprised if they get picked up very soon.

The problem with Authoritarian rules is that, everybody signs your praise in the open for fear of what you may do to them, but despise you behind closed doors. For everyone you speaks against you in public, there are a thousand and one who equally despise you but can’t speak and if there is an opportunity to revolt especially if there is a chance of removing you, the crowd that will come out of the blue to do it will be sizable.

razzydoo:
Wiki static, really?? Why is it that anyone can edit it with reasonable references?

You clearly don’t know what a static page or web site is…..Wikipedia is a static page and gets edited often just like any other static page.

ISS orbits the earth every 90 minutes, You can’t login to Wikipedia and see or read it’s precise location….what you have in Wikipedia is its estimated location at a future date base on calculations using it’s speed of orbit, time and trajectory.

alabo1:
I tire for your ignorance. GOD! Only Russian rockets have the capability to guide the ISS into a controlled orbit for rentry. I await your refutal. Space x can send people and equipment to ISS yes but it can't perform the other task.

Fact: The ISS if it goes into an uncontrolled orbit will most likely drop somewhere in the southern hemisphere (I believe you know where Russia is?) You guys should post with facts not be blinded Western propaganda. Peace

You don’t guide ISS via rockets, it is guided from earth stations in Europe, Russia and the US.

The ISS have sixteen orbital segments; six belongs to the Russias and are operated by the Russias and the remaining ten belongs to the US and are operated by NASA in the US.

razzydoo:
Go read on wiki about ISS, it will fall in Pacific ocean.

Wikipedia is a static page, ISS is not static in one place, it orbits the earth every 90 minutes.

What you have on Wikipedia is the calculation of where it might crash around 2031….Roscosmos is predicting an earlier crash date if sanctions are not lifted and it clearly stated in the article that, it is most likely in Russia.

Help2020:
Shey nan only America they doan? You rate your America too much.

America is the one coordinating and taking the lead. The world is no longer an Island, anyone that is able to coordinate among a plurality of friends or Countries takes the edge.

If Russia is that power, they should also coordinate with their friends eg China, Syria, Iran, North Korea to also sanction US and EU.

baralatie:
Begging me?
They are telling you in advance what is likely to happen!
By the time the US see a 500 ton structure free falling to earth and to hit New York or California.they will start shout that Russia did not alert them.
Abi is it wrong that Russia is announcing

Go read the article again, if it fall….it is heading into Russia or the sea, so not only that they will lose their portion and bragging rights on ISS, the 500 ton debris is coming right at them.

Plus US has since commercial space travel and Space X have taken materials and Astronauts to ISS, so the US can do this without Russia, but Russia needs the cooperation of US to do it!

Shoodboi:
To those who don't know, Russia puts more effort into the ISS than the US and often flies US astronauts to the ISS and brings them back.

Now, Russia is ending all working relationships between them on the ISS, which means the US and their NATO allies can no longer get to the ISS and do their part to keep the ISS in orbit.

So Russia is telling them to find a way to get themselves up there to do their own part of the deal to keep the ISS up there.

It is not as straightforward as that, that it is Russia and Russia efforts alone that get astronauts into space, it is a coordinated effort and without the US Russia cannot do it.

Go back and read the piece, where it stated that because of US sanctions dunces 2021 the Russia flights have been grounded.

If Russia can do it without US, why are they begging US to lift sanctions so they can continue….they should have just enter into their spaceship and zoom off.

Very sorry to hear this, it is hurtful to be in a position that no body cares.

But, why do you think it was a betrayal on that part and not shared wickedness and lack of empathy?

For someone to betray you, you must have given them some in confidence or trust and there is a verbal and no verbal understanding or knowledge to be toll the line but they later fall out and turned against you.

e.g. It will be a betrayal if you had given them money to buy you food or take care of you and they assured you that will do it, but later turned their back on you and don’t do it.

lecturer50:
Another thing that is surprising is that most men don't help a fellow man but would rather help women.

But when they have problem, it is a man they would run to for help.

Most men would not go to a woman to get help but they would rather seek help from a man.

But these are the people who like helping only women.

So if they have a need, why not go to women to seek help since it is only women you help?

Why go to a man?


If you are a man, and you help only women, why do you think another man should help you when you don't normally help a man?


I mean, it's very ironical.


Most males believe it is not proper for men to ask help from women.


They equally believe that as a man, they should help only women.


But when they have problem, they still expect a fellow man to help them.


Is it not totally ironical that you don't help another man but you expect another man to help you?


If you believe you must only help a woman, why not seek help from a woman when you also have problem?

I don't understand the irony that characterizes the life of men.

Don’t you see the contraction in your first two paragraphs?

I’m on hand, you stated that most men don’t help their female men, and immediately after that you stated that, but if those men need help they run to another man for it and not women.

So, if women don’t help men when they are in problem as you stated, it only means that they are been help by men…ie most men!

If he has pleaded guilty wetin Mr. Prosecutor wan investigate again?

MITCHELL96:
Omo!

So, that means it doesn't work like the real heart ?
Or, they should check if it was the heart ish that killed him

He had two months added to his life thanks to a pig. His heart was no good, he was not eligible for heart donor and was going and had to opt for this experiment surgery.

When it was transplanted, there was no guarantees that he would live a day longer, but here we are two months after, I believe he used the extra time to tie lose ends, make peace with God, etc.

hopeforcharles:
Ok this is Russia's loss, Have u ever imagined Ukraine's loss?
This war is grossly underreported, if Russia with all its military artilleries are losing this much then probably quarter of Feeble, half baked ,slightly arm-less crying Ukraine have been wiped of.

The Russia Army does not have the same will to fight as the Ukraine Army, many of them were deceived that is was just a peaceful campaign.

The Ukraine are more determined to keep their Country as is and not too many Russians shares Putin vision of the new Russia Empire.

If this was a war between maybe US and Russia, the Russia Military will have more zeal to fight as per they are fighting their perceived enemy and not a family just leaving across the border.

msrcusgarvey6:
US and Japan did release their reserve when oil was at$105/b

US have about 700 million barrels of strategic oil reserves, the one that was released was not up to 5%.

In addition they also have about 40 billion proven reserves.

When Oil prices increases US business men also want to cash in and therefore ramp up production just like they did when oil hit about $145 in 2008.

The US does not want to touch these reserves because they are stored against when production will be difficult to meet demands.

My point is, what Biden is doing now is just secondary so that US does not rely on her reserves, when push come to shove, they have reserves to fall back to.

frowland:
Nobody buys their oil because of its difficulty to refine. Anyway I get your gist.

If US oil supplies are increased to meet local demands, global oil prices will nose-dive overnight.

US have the ability to increase supplies either by releasing oil reserves in the short term or increase production in the long term, but are strategically not wanting to do that.

The question is, how long will the hesitancy last? The Democrats are the holdup on these two fronts, but they can’t afford to go into the midterms with gas prices this high. Though the results of the midterm elections are baked-in, the incumbent usually lost seats, but this will increase the pressure.

MangekyoAlt:
So happy to see Britain and US on their list.
These two Anglo-Saxon countries need to be thoroughly dealt with immediately and I just can't wait witness it. I'm itching to see the downfall of the USA. Britain is pretty much a silly lapdog to the USA so they will follow their masters to the ground, where they belong.
Meanwhile, what is "Great" about Britain?
Imagine Biafra brakes out of Nigeria and then few decades later, Nigeria becomes a lapdog of Biafra, answering yes sir to Biafrans and doing their dirty biddings. That's how fućked up the so called "Great" Britain is right now. Britain is Just a fućked up third world shithole riding on past glory. By the time the Russians are done with 'em, they will find themselves in the stone age. Can't wait for it

I doubt you know that, Britain and Great Britain are two different countries.

Britain is England & Wales.
Great Britain is England, Wales & Scotland.
UK is England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland.

lexy2014:
If u say "No one goes into war with one tenth of his ammunition", kindly give is the fraction of the Russian military doing the fighting in Ukraine

Yes, it is fraction that is fighting in Ukraine, Russia can’t afford to send her troops abroad, that is suicidal…that option is not even on the table.

They choose the best & 100% option and that is their very best to balance off all their interests both home and abroad.

Mintum:
Russia is not even using up to a tenth of her military capabilities. That's a fact

No one goes into war with one tenth of his ammunition.

Putin is using the utmost of his military might and capability commensurate to the results and goals he want to achieve and he is failing in that regard.

Remember that, after war then come occupation, Putin goal is not to occupy Ukraine, because he can’t afford it and he will be ran over by the continual street to street fights in a terrain that his soldiers are not family with and he does not want to bomb Ukraine to sakes because he cannot afford the huge humanitarian crises that will Simp into Russia after the war plus the cost of rebuild.

So his goal is to Ukraine until only up to where her leadership will give in and surrender to his demands or Ukraine soldiers will lost the will to fight, so far he has failed on these front.

The more the war goes on, the more Putin loses, remember he have a comatose economy back home he have to address and find a way out of.

Shoodboi:
Ukraine should take the deal because Putin will enforce them (and add a few punishments) if he forcefully takes over Kyiv. (He's still consolidating his hold on surrounding the capital and seizing the airports he needs to stage a final assault on Kyiv.)

This is the price you pay or not using your common sense when you share borders with a military superpower. The US almost invaded (and considered nuking) Cuba when they tried something similar in 1962.

And to everyone screaming "Putin is losing" and all that, the war is only 12 days and the capital is already surrounded. Imagine?

Ukraine's capital was completely surrounded on the 3rd day of the war (Feb 27), and yet you all claim Ukraine's winning. Even Saddam Hussein put up a better fight, even though the US had bombed him for years and bombed the shit out of him a whole month before invading in 2003.

The problem for Russia is not bombing or taking over Ukraine, their biggest problem will be the guerrilla warfare that will follow their occupation and street to street fighting.

At this point Russia should not be asking Ukraine to accept the Independence of Crimea and the Donetsk and Lugansk region, these places are under Russia control or Russia friendly forces for a long time now….the fact is, without Ukraine agreeing to drop their weapons, Russia knows they will be bugged down to a fight that will endure for years to come and that will weaken their ability to push towards other Countries and regions that are eyeing to join NATO.

McEphiks:
It is like that where I come from as well. Its nothing like double bride price... its just little things most times less than 10 percent of what you'd spend paying your wife to be bride's price

A daughter can't be married when the mom is not according to out tradition.

Modified: the bride price can be paid by anybody in the family either her brothers or her son if she have a grown son.

I am from Delta but not the part the OP mentioned, we also have that tradition, but the pressure will be on the mom’s husband to complete the marriage rites of his wife, it is not passed on to the incoming husband of their kids.

This is actually a negative of the daughter, because no man will ask her hands in marriage until her mom bride price has been paid as a result many men will pass over them to other household. In fact in many cases, it is the mom that will go borrow money and give to the husband to do the needful so that, he does not keep holding down their daughter from getting married.

It is not the obligation of the new son Inlaw and he can’t be forced into doing it, but he can contribute or bounce, by the time two or three good suitors bounce like that, their eyes go clear and they will run and go do the needful.

The driver sef over get confidence load petrol like say na foam

Do you have any inside info, I didn’t see where it was stated that, there is petrol inside the kegs, only that the 2 trucks filled with petrol kegs.

If all those kegs were filled with petrol, underneath the truck will not be as dry as it is on that picture.

pansophist:
I like the Chinese method better. They won't take sides like the west does, or pressure others to do the same. They won't sell weapons to either parties to keep murdering each other, they won't twist the narrative and see conflicts as a playground to advance political aims. They won't start sanctioning, or cut off ties with the country they dislike.

Instead they call both countries to the round table, mediate between them and diplomatically reach an agreement for ceasefire. No country should be forced and punished if they didn't take sides. That should be the ideal. Nigeria has immediately took sides against Russia, a very bad move. We lack spine and just want to please the western master. This is what slaves do, not a truly independent country.

So, what efforts has China & Pakistan made so far to call both sides to a ‘round table to mediate between them and diplomatically reached agreement for ceasefire’?

Seating on the fence is not a neutral position, not taking a side when a bully is breaking into your neighbor’s and pillaging is essentially the same as cheering bully on.

So far, I have not seen any effort by the ‘we are not taking side camps’ to broker any peace agreement, it appear they are all seating and applauding Russia.

All the peace efforts, before the war, cease fire talks, meetings, etc has been put together by the same Countries and parties been accused of taking sides.

Is the number of the video calls he made not trackable or what?..or have they exhausted the 35K tracking fee then all kind of help abandoned.. waiting for another mobilization fee

If it is an app eg whatsApp it is not traceable unless they found his handset….and it is very likely to be an App.

This Yoruba people don come again..

And what will he do differently? Like the last time yoruba people said he sack Lawal without Buhari consent

So what next will he be doing on he’s own without president consent?

You know yoruba can twist anything to suit their narratives

They don start to make another media noise

Let him just approve the extradition of Kyari to the US and ensure that the plane carrying Kyari land in America before baba returns, all their yansh will be open as Kyari look like someone that will sign like a nightingale over there is America.

NewDadTroubles:
Good morning Nairaland


I'm going to be as explicit as possible and I need professional legal counsel/inputs to the issue stated below. (Pardon all blunders biko)

My wife recently got fed up with her place of work and decided to tender her resignation letter. She happens to be in the teaching profession and we all know what goes on in the private teaching schools (Most anyways).

On Friday the 4th of March which was supposed to be her final day at the school, the school's HM instructed her phone to put her phone on her desk (HM's) on the pretense that it was an open day and didn't want her distracted. She did exactly that and the day went just fine, after which, she dropped all the school's materials/properties with her and left.
On getting home, she went through her phone and discovered that her WhatsApp messages and conversations had been deleted, text messages deleted, all her contacts deleted, and all chats on her phone read. As if that wasn't enough, a few of her contacts called her to tell her they received messages from the school asking what her relationship was with them? Imagine!!!

Moreover, I think it is also good I state the fact that she and the HM haven't been best of friends due to an event that happened sometimes back between both parties. But for her to pick up her phone and go through it, and not just that, but also deleting her chats and wiping off contacts, deleting photos that has to do with the school, that's to the extreme haba!!!

Is there any legal ground to pursue this case or is it me just being emotional hurt that my wife's privacy has been trampled upon and I need to act. What should be my next point of action?

Thanks
NewDadTroubles

Why not first restore all the deleted info from backs? WhatsApp backup everyday, delete WhatsApp and reinstall and restore backup from a different date prior to the delete.

Do this very fast otherwise they will be over written…plugging the phone to a PC and with some third party software you can see the other backups, this way you can safe them.

It will be very hard to sue her, you will be spending money and time and may not even get away thing at the day of the day. Your wife left her phone and possibly her password with the lady, what did she expect to happen?

TheWolfen:
The circle goes on and on. Russia currently have two of the most deadliest nuclear warfare and American 3 other deadly ones that follow suit.
All with these modern nuclear weapons are many times deadly than little boy bomb US dropped in Hiroshima in 1945.
So these days if they drop a bomb in any city just say your last prayer because no one can escape it not even with a car.
Putin second most deadly weapon is said to be able to wipe a city as big as Texas, France , UK. Not to talk about the bomb's glass shattering shockwave in neighboring countries / cities


It is like humans are in competition of how fast to end humanity

We know that Putin have the deadliest bomb only because Putin and Russia makes a lot of noise, they like parading their war machine like NK in the eyes of the public.

On the Contrary the US does not parade those things, Trump had a huge push-back when he suggested to parade the US war arsenal.

In 1945 before the Us dropped the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima, no body knew that the US have an atomic bomb....People only know about a project call the Manhattan Project, but no one know what they were doing.

Plus the Russia's deadliest bomb we all know is the Tsar bomb that was unveiled in the 1960s, I believe by now both the US and Russia should have gotten something that is more powerful than that, but they are holding it to their chest.

Also, I doubt if anyone of them will use any of these weapons...despite all these public displays, the Russians and US are in constant daily military communication with one another. what we are all seeing in the open is mere displays to position themselves better and more highly in the hearts and minds of their different audience and an attempt to win public opinion to themselves.
