Eguavoen should NEVER come near anything that has to do with coaching in Nigeria again

This is a disaster in the making. Disgraceful performance in front of their own fans. Our coach is horrible, the players are second rate players. I cant believe what i am watching right now. These guys are not going to the world cup and they are not bothered!!

I want to believe the Nigeria players do not believe there is an away goal. They are playing like they can not be bothered. This 2nd half is so so annoying

The fans are disappointing too. They should raise their voices a notch. The players look like they have given up. The coach is a mannequin at this moment

No dribbler for this team. Ghana game plan is working. Something has to give. It will be disastrous for Nigeria to miss out in the world cup

001spice:
If it end 1-1 wat will happen

Nigeria wont be going to the world cup

Nigerians are playing with zero urgency now. As it stands, Nigeria is out. This disjointed play favours Ghana. They will want to see this out as a draw match and qualify.

Eguaoven needs to pull the rabbit out of his hat !!

Even though it is a global problem but other countries are dolling out palliatives to their citizens to help cushion the effects but here the lifeless government is hell bent on killing Nigerians with multiple taxes and obnoxious laws. Buhari is a certified failure simple

Before you start insulting presidency, what about the Governor's who collect monthly allocation on behalf of the state every month. State Government is closer to the people that presidency. Let's start holding them accountable.

nairavsdollars:
If PDP fields Governor Nyesom Wike and APC fields Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, can Wike win?

If one wins the other, Nigerians will still be the losers. Nigeria as a country is suffering from true, intelligent, selfless and genuine leaders. No wonder greater percentage of the citizens have become nomadic across the globe and will do anything to be citizens of another country.

This is the result when we have mediocres in the position of power. All they know is wait for monthly allocation from Abuja, embezzle the larger part and ration the rest among the people.

They can't think out of the box to generate more internal revenue. While the Governments all over the world are cushioning the effect of inflation on the masses, they are rationing salaries among the people, knowing fully well the citizens can't even revolt. Our politicians live in a house built of gold with reckless abandon while the docile citizens continue to wallow in abject poverty. Shame

The US and NATO have laid down marker. Attack any NATO country or use chemical weapon in Ukraine and you will see see a response. Tell Russia to do either, then you will know where the real power lies.

ken6488:
there influence is refusing

With the rise of the east

This war might just seal everything

If you don't mind please, can you be specific where there influence is reducing

ken6488:
all this your hyping would not change anything,

Russia will survive the sanctions and start the rise of the east.


I don't hate USA, but seems like their time as super power has end, just like the former supper powers, UK, France, Rome, Spain, Portugal, Persia etc USA is just playing the same end game
As those empires (if you study history you will know)


My problems is not USA or Russia self they can kill their self,


But this two countries are about to turn earth up side down

Which must be prevented

I will be happy if you can educate me on the specifics that US reign is about to end.

Currently, US is the richest nation on earth, the most oil producer of oil in the world and have the strongest military. Their military budget is the biggest in the world. Russian and china military budget combined does not reach half of the UD military budget.

So tell me, how is their reign about to end

Idaytesj29:
I honestly do not want or pray that this situation escalates, cos it will be a doomsday thing. But only that escalation will tell us who is supporting who and who is ready to call her army in support of who. China had been a long term friend of the Soviets or Russia, as its stand, nothing or not much has changed about that. In fact, China stated recently that relations between Moscow and Beijing is rock solid.

So, US and NATO are free to do whatever with Russia. They should go ahead and bomb her, its evident Moscow wouldn't stop the pursuit of her interest. All the West can send their troop and missiles to Russia, assasinate Putin or bomb Moscow. Atleast they have the capacity to do so and does not need anyone's permission for that to be done. "Level this overrated, economically decimated, militarily weakened Russia and kill the crazy dictator Putin with their superior western firepower, sanctions, connections etc" As Russia is an Isolated, and hated entity of a state around the world, no country will aid or support her, it will Russia against the world, in fact her citizens hates her and even carry arms and fight against her in support of NATO and US.

[/b]Unless, Ukraine agrees to terms which are withdraw NATO membership intention, Cede Crimea to Russia, approve independence of Donbass and surrender To Russia. The crisis will not abate, no matter what US and the West do. It will be deadlocked. War or no war, intervention or not, sanctions or not.[b]

No reasonable leader will agree to those silly terms from Putin. Let's see who blinks first.

GerogeI:
If they do not pay, they will live I cold for about 3 months, people will protest, the government will change hands from internal politics and they will still pay the Rubble eventually . This one is just initial gra gra. They will pay Rubble.

Contract does not work that way. You can't unilaterally breach a contract you have previously agreed on. There's a process that needs to be followed to change a contract. Russia is risking big fine from the court of arbitration. You will see how it will play out

M7even:
Russia economy has two challenges , locally the people in Russia are complaining about inflation. And that's central for Putin. Secondly much of Russia's foreign reserves is frozen as they cannot access the dollars in which they have saved them in foreign countries.

Russia understands that it's not an import economy, where by it will need the dollars to buy foreign goods. Plus with the demand for Rouble inflation rate is bound to drop over time for its people

Russia only has wishful thinking. Italy, the second biggest buyer of Russia oil has declined to pay in rubble. Germany has threatened to take Russia to court of arbitration. It is a contract and one man can't wake up to change the terms. This is purely business and Putin can't wake up to use EU to prop up its fast falling currency.

M7even:
If you pay for an air flight with your card the payment is simply converted to the dollar rate and not because your CBN has dollar to pay them. If I'm buying from Amazon at the rate of one dollar. Then I expect roughly 500 Naira deduction using my debit card.

You don't know how this works. For everything you buy, CBN guarantees the payment. It's not because you have naira equivalent, it is because CBN has enough to settle your bills in dollars.

Nothing concerns the company abroad with your naira, CBN will make deduction from your naira account and settle your bills from the dollars in the reserve. That's why Govt discourages people from importing goods and services because you are putting pressure on the naira and reducing the dollars in the reserve.

rajiedreez:
Looooooollllllzzzzzzz, even Iran has more natural gas reserve that Qatar that has 12.5% compared to Russia 24%. Has you even thought of transportation cost. There's pipeline already laid from Russia to other other countries with little or no risk of transportation compared to shipping with vessels from Qatar to EU.

Oga sir Putin's got them by the balls

and is the pipeline in use (Nord 2)? As it is, Russia pipeline passes through Ukraine to EU and Russia still pays Ukraine passage fee on that

1x2x3:
You don't see the puzzle here. Russia needs dollar like you said and Putin just successfully conditioned the west to buy Rubies of which they won't have an option than to buy Rubies...... Guess which currency they will buy the rubies with? You must buy Rubies with Dollar.

Both the west and Russia will suffer. West needs energy, Russia needs money. There is no way the west will get the roubles to pay for Russia oil. It means the west will walk away from Russia oil and oil price in the west will soar. Russia too will be broke, with the likelihood of Russia imploding.

Read this to gain more insight, on it:

WarriAproko:
do think Russia is more of Importation. Instead they will trade with china

How will china help? They will buy cheap oil from Russia and settle in dollars? When they know there is existing sanction on that? China is afraid of backlash from the West. China won't risk her economy on saving Russia ass. And what's the volume of dollars that can replace what Russia has lost from the west?

Great0ne1:
It appreciates because of demand. The same demand for use in purchasing oil gas, will make Europeans accept it. You get it ?

Roubles will appreciate but useless without the dollars. Russians need to procure products and services from the west but the roubles can't be converted to dollars. Russians can't get all they need within their economy.

Any gain from this move will be countered by the anticipated freeze on the Russia gold reserve being used to defend Roubles.

The West are the master of the game

3idiots:
The way some of you come here to analyze what you don't know with so much confidence surprises me!

I don't what to go into all the stuff you wrote, I don't have time for that. But your common sense should have told you that if Russia needed Dollars, they would ask to be paid in dollars not rubbles.

That's where you miss it. There's a sanction to stop Russia accessing dollars, if Russia asks to be paid in USD, they know it's NOT possible.

Russia needs money by selling her oil and gas. Why don't you ask yourself why Russia doesn't stop selling her oil and gas to western nations totally? Because they need money! And country like India will only buy Russia oil at a discount. Reason!

AroleOduduwa2:
Yaba analyst, they need dollar to do what exactly? Russia is a good position to negotiate terms with whoever they choose to do trade with. The West have done thier worse, not its time for Russia to do as they pleases.

Half education is terrible. You are asking what Russia needs dollars for and by extension disgracing your ancestors in the cyber space.

WarriAproko:
Russia don't have any business with dollars again. If UK and any European countries wants to buy gas they will pay with rubble. Now sourcing for rubble begins which will make the currency appreciate

You are missing the point. Imagine if roubles appreciate but Russia needs more dollars in their reserve to do many things which they are lacking now. It makes no sense.

International transactions are settled in dollars. Let me tell you if you don't know, when you have million of naira in your account and you pay for your air flight using your bank card. The payment is honoured because the airline knows that Nigeria has enough dollars in her reserve to settle on your behalf through the CBN. If you are a billionaire in Nigeria and there is little or no money (USD) in the country reserves, attempt to pay for flight, education abroad and anything foreign, your payment will be declined because you can't settle your bills in naira, it's CBN that must settle on your behalf in dollars from the reserve.

Russia is hurting badly, lack of access to dollars is a serious game changer

somehow:
If you can't answer mine, then your questions are also too academic. Use Google to understand how getting paid in your own currency helps your economy in a global market.

My question was analytical not academic. Yours was broadly academic. Have a good day.

spy24:
This war only goes to prove that Russia no be small country imagine say na France uk or wan small country naim Dem dey slap all this sanctions e for don be for dem

Russia economy is in ruins. Putin admits it that sanction has decimated their economy. Focus on what happens after this war is over.Many European countries will wean themselves off Russia oil, more NATO presence in the Eastern flank of eu, sanctions will still remain to destroy the economy,
Russia was the 12th wealthiest nation before the war, I can bet they will pushed down the ladder. If they seek loan in the international market, they will pay very high interest rate because their rating would have been affected when they default on their debt.

Russia has less leverage on the west than the other way round. US is the largest producer of oil in the world, Saudi even comes second.

somehow:
Please answer these questions - How many countries make up "The west"?

(2) How many of the NATO/Western countries boycotted Russian energy?

Im sorry your questions are too academic and distracting from the main discourse. Google will become so handy for you

Just explain why you think paying for gas in roubles will help Russia out of this self inflicted problem they are in. Apart from strengthening the roubles to a minimal degrees, it's useless internationally. And that's where their economic pains lie.

naijapower:
This strategy will cause the Ruble to appreciate and ensure stability of the russia economy. As Germany, and other EU nations will have to source for Ruble to pay for gas.

Trading in Ruble has always been the desire of Putin and russia.

The reason why the US attack Iraq, Libya, Syrie etc was because they wanted to abandon the use of dollar for trade.

Russia needs dollars more than roubles. The west has shut them out from accessing dollars, which means they cant do transaction on an international stage. Putin has admitted Russia economy has been hit so hard, it is a matter of time before the people start serious protest.

Imagine if Naira appreciates but you dont have access to dollars. You wont be able to pay for air ticket, school fees abroad, medical care abroad etc. It only makes sense if Nigeria is self sufficient, sadly no country is self sufficient. So, Russia will suffer so much

Eguaikide:
Do they have their gold reserve in America or what The Russians �� are superpowers on their own, so why would they want to store their reserves in the United States ��

Sit this discourse out. This is beyond you. Rather, ask questions to understand how it works.

Rastaramsey:
That is all they ever want to do
Freeze and freeze for their selfish interest.....

They were never concerned with the war

Those Niggars are greedy.....

I hope zelensky dey see things from my perspective....

Your perspective is myopic. No insult meant. Ukraine is a sovereign nation, and Russia has no right to be dictating to her. This is a fight for the soul of a nation. If Russia had not been a bully and has been nice to her neighbours, they wont think of aligning with the west. You bully me, and still impede me from having relationship with individuals that are friendly to me. Omo, we go die there.
