Perhaps, this is beyond redemption

ObamaMessi:
Exactly.Russia is in deep mess and I believe Putin didn't see this coming.When the effect of those pulled out companies starts biting hard, Putin will realize his mistakes.

U.S turned to Venezuela and their relationship is getting better by day.U.S wanted to cripple Russia's economy.

ObamaMessi:
What I mean is that only McDonald promised to keep paying their staff after suspending their services in Russia.

The four zonal chairmen of the Tricycle Owners and Operators Association of Nigeria (TOOAN) in Lagos State, have pledged allegiance to the Lagos State Council Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (aka. MC Oluomo).

The chairmen and hundreds of their members stormed the NURTW Agege State secretariat to express their displeasure over the interference of the national body of the union in TOOAN affairs. They warned Zone ‘C’ Chairman of TOOAN, Alhaji Azeez Abiola (aka. Istijabah), to desist from parading himself as the overall chairman in the state.


Coordinator of the chairmen and Zone ‘A’ Chairman Alhaji Kamoli Bakare (aka Papi), said the zonal chairmen never subscribed to the appointment of Abiola as their leader.

“TOOAN comprises five Zones. I’m the chairman of Zone ‘A’ and coordinator of the zones. We are operating under the Lagos NURTW and the council did not appoint Abiola as our chairman. The letter he’s parading on social media is untrue,” he said.

According to him, five of them including Abiola were interviewed and sworn-in as zonal chairmen in 2020 for a four-year term in office.

ObamaMessi:
Exactly.Not really all the companies but McDonalds.

ObamaMessi:
They will continue be paid salary

The company employs 62,000 people in Russia and serves millions of customers there each day. McDonald’s said Tuesday it would continue to pay the salaries of its Russian and Ukrainian employees.

in response to the invasion of Ukraine.



More than 200 major companies have withdrawn from Russia so far in response to the country’s unprovoked war on Ukraine, further hobbling an economy already devastated by Western sanctions.

A rapidly changing list of the companies compiled by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a professor at the Yale School of Management, shows representation across a broad range of industries, from Apple to Exxon, McDonald’s to Maersk.

McDonald’s decision Tuesday to “temporarily” close its restaurants and pause operations in Russia is particularly symbolic. The burger chain was among the first Western brands to begin operating in the former Soviet Union in 1990 under Mikhail Gorbachev’s policy of perestroika.

At the end of last year, McDonald’s operated around 850 restaurants in the country, 84% of which were operated directly by the company as opposed to franchisees.

The company employs 62,000 people in Russia and serves millions of customers there each day. McDonald’s said Tuesday it would continue to pay the salaries of its Russian and Ukrainian employees.

Sonnenfeld’s list is more than just a tally of companies wary of Moscow, however: It also inventories the companies doing business in Russia that have so far chosen to remain.

Among them are big names like Coca-Cola, Kraft Heinz, and Pepsi, all of which are facing increasingly loud calls to take action.

While a humanitarian argument can be made for consumer brands like these choosing to remain in operation, Sonnenfeld isn’t convinced.

In an article comparing the current economic sanctions to those imposed on South Africa in the 1980s in an effort to dismantle apartheid, Sonnenfeld argued economic pain is kind of the point.

“Reagan’s argument [in 1986] was that sanctions would in fact hurt South African Black people and not solve the problems of Apartheid, while we lose positive influence,” he wrote. “Those are the same counterarguments echoed today about not hurting Russia’s population. The purpose of sanctions, however, is to impose pain without the violence of war.”

“Vladimir Putin, the most vicious autocrat of this century, rules through tyranny and fear. As he continues to fail, people will lose their fear and he will lose his power,” he added.

Putin makes drastic bid to steady economy and Fitch warns of risk to debt


Russia has suspended the sale of foreign currencies until September in a scramble to steady its economy, as rating agency Fitch indicated that a sovereign default is imminent.

Citizens will not be able to buy foreign currencies in local banks but they will, however, be able to change them into the local ruble unit.

Between March 9 and September 9 "the banks will not be able to sell foreign currencies to citizens," the Russian central bank said in a statement.

Cash withdrawals from foreign currency accounts at Russian banks will be limited to $10,000 until September 9.

Withdrawals on such accounts will only be permitted in dollars irrespective of the currency in which the account is denominated.

The problem with people like you is , you are just too emotional to engage with others on social media..

Na me be Ipob members? Very funny

Btw, I have been following this event for years, backed with different documentaries. My analysis are not copy paste like yours, they are personal opinion based on my own perception without siding any of the party...

I was part of NL's who started the crisis discussion even before they start making FP on NL.

Go and check my analysis, they are far ahead of Western media narratives cos I have different sources to follow the news

Wannabenz:
As at today.

AntiTerrorists:
... since the news was not from Aljazeera abi ?

Jeju:

You see this war heh, it's full of hypocrisy. The narratives people get about the events depends on their source of information.

Ukraine had plans of attacking the Secessionists cos they knew they were planning to declare independent soon. USA, UK, NATO and EU have been supplying weapons to Ukraine to fight that war.

The last military exercise conducted by Ukraine military at the black sea was final preparation for the attack.

Russia got the Intel, expressed his concerns about the implications of attacking the Secessionists as almost half of them are Russian, by birth, citizenship.. EU, NATO, US have not been taking any of the Russia concerns seriously.

When USA was shouting Russia would invade Ukraine, they knew what they were talking about cos Russia would definitely move to the Secessionists area to protect them which is in Ukraine territory.

The Secessionists are not interested in any independence, they have changed their tunes to they want to reunite with their big brother Russia.

The question is would Russia have allowed the Ukraine military to bombard the Secessionists even though they have been on bombardment since 2014.

The mistake Putin is currently making is you do not quench fire by adding more fuel, he should have considered the humanitarian crises his attack would cause, the destructions of lives and property and how the world would think even though most would be fed with one side of the story .

Btw, majority of the foot soldiers of Russia in Ukraine are not even Russians

sapientia:


I have to understand that you are intentionally stupid

Or should I simply call you a bigot

Whenever the issue is not APC/Tinubu and Igbos, you seem to be sound

But if it is, you always move from 100% sanity to 0%

Parachoko:
Can you explain how soldiers taking orders are terrorist?
