I support Man u and though these two are my sworn enemies, I will wish for Chelsea fc to win this. How can one club desires to win 4 trophies. Greedy!

Behind every dark cloud, there is always a silver lining.
Hard work pays

Malory:
Buhari has reduced Nigeria to nothing. Nigeria is now the butt of cruel jokes from the rest of the world

Are you ok? It was Buhari that asked Emefiele to do what he is doing? Some people need brain reset

jakD:
Ukraine at this time should stop playing defensive again, they should attack too.

They need long range weapons. And most of the countries supplying them the few long range weapons ask them not to use them against russia target on Russia soil

RoyalDiadems:
May you not use your mouth to destroy yourself.

Bloggers can make you commit sin if you're not wary.

This isn't the first time Oyedepo would be saying something like this. He's been saying it since the inception of his ministry. He premises it on the fact that, there's no calling higher than God's calling. An opportunity to serve in God's kingdom is most honourable... and it's a demotion to go serve elsewhere.

Do not follow the multitude to do evil.

Of all the men of God in Nigeria, this is the only man who has never earned salary from his ministry till date. From day one of the living faith church, Oyedepo has never been on the church's payroll. He lives on Goodwill. And pays more than the 10th part of his income as tithe. God has blessed him for a reason!

You are such a joke. All the church buildings and assets, who owns it? A man that has positioned his son (Muyiwa) to take over after him.
A man that slaps a woman in an open church calling her a witch. Oyedepo has no right to insult the highest office in the country. He's not making any sense. Prophets in the bible didn't sound the way he does, always throwing his weight around like a God.

I said what I have said and I stand by it. You have your right to follow him blindly , I reserve my right to question him when he descrates the highest office in Nigeria.

Tareq1105:
You don't deserve my response.

I don't join issue with fools either. Don't stray into my path. I will reduce you to rubble. I didn't mention you. I have the right to express what I feel, just like you. My expression wasn't directed to you. Be guided

Out of all the pastors in Nigeria, I have little regards for this one. So pompous, uncouth, arrogant and full of himself.

This is what happens when someone who never dreams it sits on vast resources belonging to other people all in the name of Christianity.

Even our Lord Jesus gave what belongs to Caesar to Caesar. He respected his office. Here is this one, insulting the highest office in his own country.

Fuckyoumod:
UN can't bite!

However, Russia can't back down now in shame, as backing down now would be too shameful and embarrassing to the state of Russia. Russia is tired of the war, but don't know how to end it.

Russia underestimated a united and committed Ukraine with a powerful western and NATO backing.

If Russia don't back down now, they would be left with no ego and face as they would be drained in this war economically, militarily and other cost. Because this war would linger for years. A lot of people don't know the west intends to drain Russia with a long war using Ukraine as the contact point.

Don't worry about Ukraine, they would be rebuilt by those using them. Russia can't sustain a long long war.

Where is Putin?

Tell him that the humiliation has not started yet. After 3 years of this war, Russia will be so exhausted and begging for a peaceful solution.

Already Russia elites are heading for Qatar in there numbers. They are leaving Russia for Putin. Lol.....

Brilliant analytical mind. Exactly everything I always tell people. Respect, bro

litigator:
So how will importers survive?

CBN is simply discouraging importing through Benin. Major importers are in serious shit.

These are smugglers and not genuine importers. They are part of the people killing the economy by not paying due taxes to Government. You can't be supporting such and expect Nigeria to turn Dubai overnight.

Vatsyayana:
This is simply because Benin Republic has decided to grant Sunday Igboho asylum (humanitarian protection) under the Refugee Convention.

Does that look like asylum to you or house arrest while awaiting trial?

Bluntguy:
Another oil windfall is about to happen. More corruption loading. Poor Nigerians will become poorer. If you like don't vote in Peter Obi. Na you go regret am las las.

The same Obi exposed during pandora disclosure?

Truvelisback:
Omo! See weapons of war. Those daring Putin should think twice.

You saw a few pictures, you melted. Putin is a fool. Has he seen the arsenal of other nations, especially that of the US. In this war, US gave Ukraine 2 military hardware that no one knew of their existence - the unmanned anti ship and the 'Ghost' drone.

How much is Russia military budget per year. It is not up to one third of that of the US. US and NATO are all looking at Putin as the ranting of an isolated and frustrated mad man

In Nigeria, the more you look, the less you see. It is becoming very transactional. Someday, we will know.

LordIsaac:
Osinbajo has the skills, just that his hands are tied. He needs power!

I'm not taking anything away from Osinbajo but get this right; Osinbajo, as the VP, cannot do anything without the approval of a sitting president. All the things he did when Buhari wasn't around wasn't down to him. He has to follow through on the directive of the president.

Then do you think Osinbajo has enough clout and political base to rule a country like Nigeria. I'm just having loose conversation here, and not a tacit support for Tinubu who I will never vote for anyway.

LordIsaac:
I can't wait to see a day where a Professor by merit would rule Nigeria!

It takes a different skillet to rule a nation than academics. A good administrator is what is required.

Who keeps pushing this guy into our faces?

Russia can destroy Ukraine but Ukraine cannot destroy Russia. What nonsense is that?. Everytime it happens, Putin threatens to use nuclear bomb.

Ukraine should serve Russians a taste of their own pill and Putin should do what he wants to do. Then he will see how the world will respond.

Posting, Sharing and Distribution of Child porn is a crime.

by Stanley Alieke, Esq.

The social media has been on standstill with the news of the Chrisland schools pupil that was “gang-raped” by her classmates in Dubai during an international games competition that she and her classmates represented her school in.

As a side note, I have watched the video (the sex video of the little girl and her classmates which are boys, about 4 of them) and it does not seem to me to be rape, it clearly seems to be consensual group sex between the girl and the young boys but the boys made videos of the sex scene and posted it online unless there is something that I am missing.

That being said, netizens should stop sharing, posting and distributing that video; posting, sharing and distribution of child porn is a crime in Nigeria and other countries of the world that would land you in jail.

This is the provision of s.23 of the cybercrime act, 2015;

S.23 (1) Any person who intentionally uses any computer system or network in or for- (a) producing child pornography;

(b) offering or making available child pornography;

(c) distributing or transmitting child pornography;

(d) procuring child pornography for oneself or for another person;

(e) possessing child pornography in a computer system or on a computer-data storage medium:

commits an offence under this Act and shall be liable on conviction –

(i) in the case of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) to imprisonment for a term of 10 years or a fine of not more than N20,000,000.00 or to both fine and imprisonment.

Engaging in the production, distribution, and transmission of child pornographic content is a crime punishable with 10 years imprisonment or a fine of N20m or both the fine and the jail term.

Please desist from sharing that video for the sake of the little girl’s future and also for the sake of public morals.

@Stanley Alieke, you are already guilty of (e) as stated above. How did you watch it if you were not in possession of it?

DoctorOlasDesk:
Nigeria will still vote in APC again come 2023, Nigerians are persistent in perpetuating suffering

There is no party in Nigeria that has sound ideology. It is not about party, it is about individuals contesting in an election. So if APC fields a good candidate, people shouldn't vote for such by your myopic write up?

FutureIsFemale:
Please don't mind TheStakeHolder and his likes. God will punish all rape apologists.
God please come to our aid. Nigeria is not a place to breed a girl child. Hear what comes out from a suppose human being mouth.

It's not peculiar to Nigeria alone. What girls and boys do in the western world is worse. And, there are girls in the US being kidnapped and used for sex slaves on US soil. The story abound. It's a global pandemic.

Don't call Nigeria out on this.

I am a Yoruba guy and I will rather not vote than to vote for Tinubu.

However, in Nigeria of today, Osinbajo can never win a presidential election. You need intelligence, strength and ability to pull enormous weight . The Northerners can never respect Osinbajo as a president, his network is severely limited in Nigeria.

The "eyes" behind the iron curtain in the dark room that determines who is going to be president in Nigeria can never approve of him.

We are watching as the vultures that call themselves politicians are gathering again to feast over the remnant of Nigeria.

WATCHOVER:
There is no way I would not blame NATO, an agreement was reached stopping further NATO expansion but NATO is going against the rules, that is why am Supporting Russia not that am happy for War.
Agreement is Agreement

There was NO treaty that backed up the so-called agreement. It was made orally under a very different circumstance.

Read this:
To understand Russia’s claims of betrayal, it is necessary to review the reassurances then US secretary of state James A. Baker made to former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev during a meeting on February 9, 1990. In a discussion on the status of a reunited Germany, the two men agreed that NATO would not extend past the territory of East Germany, a promise repeated by NATO’s secretary general in a speech on May 17 that same year in Brussels.

Russia and the West finally struck an agreement in September that would allow NATO to station its troops beyond the Iron Curtain. However, the deal only concerned a reunified Germany, with further eastward expansion being inconceivable at the time.

"The Soviet Union still existed and the countries of Eastern Europe were still part of the Soviet structures – like the Warsaw Pact – which was not officially dissolved until July 1991," said Amélie Zima, doctor of political science at the Thucydide Centre (Panthéon-Assas) in Paris. "We cannot speak of betrayal, because a chain of events that would rearrange the security configuration in Europe was about to take place."

In short, at a time when Westerners were offering the "guarantees" spoken of by Vladimir Putin, no one could have predicted the collapse of the USSR and the historic upheavals that followed.

>> The fall of the Soviet Union, 30 years on

"In addition, these promises were made orally and were never recorded in a treaty,” recalled Olivier Kempf, associate researcher at the Foundation for Strategic Research. "The turning point of NATO enlargement came much later, in 1995, at the request of the Eastern European countries."

rottennaija:
Which terms of contract? It's a normal thing. If I owe an international organisation money, I'll deposit my equivalent naira, they will take it to their bank and convert based on the money my country owns in the foreign reserve. I don't have to get the dollar equivalent to pay directly into their account.

I buy from aliexpress often. I pay in naira equivalent, they exchange it and take their dollars or yuan.

You are not knowledgeable about how things work. Aliexpress has nothing to do with your naira. Central Bank of Nigeria settles your debt on your behalf and the CBN debits your naira denominated account in turn. CBN pays Aliexpress in USD. Don's assume knowledge of what you don't know. Sit this discourse out.

themonk:
Just to note, this isn’t because Russia doesn’t have money to pay, it’s because they are sanctioned and can’t effectively use the US dollar. I think they offered to make payments with Roubles(Russian currency).

Too much grammar. Russia has defaulted. Plain and simple

rottennaija:
Russia paid in rubles. Its left for them to go cash their money in American banks.

Is that the terms of contract ? Some people are just comedians

Appleyard:
The truth is, Russia don't need any damn rating to stay relevant. Just default and let the ediots and their own creditors settle their scores. After all, the whole world knows it's not your fault, and besides,Russia don't own much debt.

BTW. OP, this your headline is misleading. Why don't you wait until they're officially at default?

"No be your fault" does not settle debt. Russia is owing. And about the headline, you can safely advise the credit rating agency S & P Global whi stated that Russia has defaulted. Perhaps you know more than them.

Russia has defaulted on its debt big time and you are here saying they have not officially defaulted. Na wah for some people.

rottennaija:
Who loses? Isn't it the creditor?

Russia loses big time. That is why it wants to go to court over it. High interest rate will kill Russia economy. No country desires to lose its credit rating.

God1000:
Where are Putin's minions on nairaland

We warned them here that US has a mix of options in its arsenal to wreck the economy of Russia. Russia is meant to settle its debt in USD but now offering Rubles to its creditors. US has been allowing Russia some degree of access to its frozen financial assets but the US has NOW decided a total blockage. Now, Russia can't pay in Rubles and this leads to the default.

Watch out as Russia credit rating starts to fall, which means Russia will have to pay heavy interest anytime it wants to borrow from any country. Russia is fighting economic war and conventional war at the same time, it will soon be sent back to the 300BC at this rate.

Credit ratings agency S&P Global has placed Russia under "selective default" on its foreign debt after the country offered rubles for payments on two dollar-denominated bonds due on April 4th.

The agency said in a press release that paying in rubles instead of dollars amounted to a “selective default.”

What is selective default? According to S&P, selective default is declared when an entity has defaulted on a specific obligation but not its entire debt.

Some background: Last week the US Treasury blocked Russia from accessing its foreign currency reserves in American banks, forcing Moscow to offer to pay its debts in rubles, diverting foreign currency revenue that would otherwise be used to prop up its war effort, or not pay at all.

The US Treasury had been allowing Russia to use some of its frozen assets to pay back certain investors in dollars until then.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a press conference Wednesday that a default would be “artificial” because Russia has dollars to pay but cannot access them due to the sanctions.

“There are no grounds for a real default,” Peskov said. “Not even close.”

Russia to sue: Speaking to the pro-Kremlin Izvestia newspaper Monday, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said Russia would launch a legal action over the issue.

“We will sue, because we undertook all necessary action so that investors would receive their payments. We will show the court proof of our payments, to confirm our efforts to pay in rubles, just as we did in foreign currency. It won't be a simple process.”

My concern is why have we jettisoned the bible's instructions which should be our overall guide. Where did they find it in the bible that once a GO preaches, no one can preach after him. This is a way to attempt to project humans as God.Policy of the church must always align with the bible.

Leke should not only be disciplined, that policy should be officially abandoned as well.

Anyone who blames the president for the attack needs to have a rethink. We all know the pattern. Election is near and our politicians will do anything to discredit the sitting government. It is the pattern - both APC and PDP do it - to get power at all cost, and sadly at the expense of the masses. Most of these insecurities are fuelled by the politicians. During the time of Jonathan, they used MEND to be blowing pipelines, during Obasanjo's administration, they used Gani Adam-led Oodua, and during Buhari, it is Fulani. When another person gets there, they will use his people against him too. It is a dangerous pattern.

Our common enemies are the politicians. Let us all recognise that - Presidents, Governors, Senators, House of Reps etc. By their actions and inactions, they have turned Nigerians to nomadic, claiming asylums all over the world. When you blame the party, you have made the politicians win because that is exactly what they want. Single out the politicians for mentioning. Don't let them easily control us like robots by their actions.

I feel pain for the families of the slain, and I pray that God in his optimum fury will bring down judgement on all those involved.
