Foreign Affairs / We Are Not Fighting Again, We Want To Focus On Donbass- Russia by Nonpartisan1: 12:09pm On Mar 26, 2022 |
Russian focus on ‘liberating’ Donbas hints at shift in strategy Ukrainian resistance may mean that Russia is changing its strategy to more limited goals and focusing on Donbas.

The announcement on Friday appeared to indicate that Russia may be switching to more limited goals after running into fierce Ukrainian resistance in the first month of the war in Ukraine.

Despite that claim, Ukrainian fighter jets have continued flying sorties from bases in western Ukraine. Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine on February 24 in what it called a “special operation” to weaken its southern neighbour’s military capabilities and root out people it called dangerous nationalists. The West has imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia in an effort to force it to withdraw its forces. Rudskoi said 1,351 Russian soldiers had died in the operation and 3,825 had been injured. Russia’s military had not given an official casualty figure since March 2, when it said 498 soldiers had been killed. Ukraine’s military has said some 15,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in combat. Russia’s military said on Friday that it did not rule out storming Ukrainian cities that it had blockaded, and that Russia would react immediately to any attempt to close the airspace over Ukraine – something Kyiv has asked NATO to do. The military alliance has so far resisted for fear of direct confrontation between Russian and NATO forces. Russia’s General Staff said its military operation in Ukraine would continue until Russian forces had completed the tasks that had been set, without saying what those tasks were. Russia’s military had considered two options for its operation in Ukraine, one confined to the Donbas, and the other on the whole territory of Ukraine, before opting for the latter, Rudskoi said. The United Kingdom said on Friday that Ukrainian troops were recapturing towns east of Kyiv, and Russian forces which had been trying to seize the capital were falling back on overextended supply lines, an indication of a shift in momentum in the fighting. Ukrainian forces have reportedly put up strong resistance to invading Russian ones who are attempting to surround and bomb the capital. Russian forces have repeatedly struck Kyiv, but have failed to encircle the city thus far. Since the first days of the war, analysts suggested the Russian military may have been caught off-guard by the level of pushback by Ukrainian fighters. The United Nations says more than 3.6 million people, mostly women and children, have already fled Ukraine, while some 10 million have been internally displaced. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/3/25/russian-army-says-will-focus-on-liberation-of-donbas-region lalasticlala Mynd44

Politics / Will Igbo PDP Delegates Vote For Peter Obi? by Nonpartisan1: 4:15pm On Mar 24, 2022 |
Going by the voting pattern of an average Easterner on national politics, they always support other candidates from other zones in place of their own because of their love for the PDP. This time around one of their "illustrious" sons has declared to vie for the highest office in the land, will they queue behind him, or continue to support the Fulanis, which they claim, are killing their people? Azikiwe was betrayed. Ojukwu was betrayed. Ekwueme was betrayed. Will Peter Obi face the same shame? 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Just go to his Twitter page and see below par engagement his tweets about his declaration is performing, unlike 2019, when any of his tweets were retweeted thousands times...but not even up to 300 people liked or tweeted his deceleration.

Politics / JUST IN: Southsouth Cannot Win PDP Presidency, Says Tambuwal by Nonpartisan1: 1:11pm On Mar 22, 2022 |
In what appeared a repudiation of the zoning arrangement, Sokoto Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, has told the leadership and stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to choose between zoning of its presidential ticket and winning the election. The Governor, who is eyeing the presidential ticket of the PDP, also said that the Southsouth zone cannot win the presidency in 2023. Tambuwal’s position appeared a veiled response to the insistence by Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike, that the PDP presidential ticket be zoned to the Southsouth region. Tambuwal spoke in Abuja on Tuesday during a meeting with former principal officers of the National Assembly. The meeting was in continuation of his consultative engagements to garner support for his aspiration. Details |

“The zone is fully in support of the position of the Southern Governor’s forum that the next President of Nigeria must come from the Southern part of Nigeria.” I think from the look of things, the votes Atiku or Tambuwal would get from the South will be from Ndimkpuru Mmiri people. Asiwaju Tinubu after clinching the Ticket of the APC, will unify the South, and that will be final burial of the IPOB party called PDP. I like the fact, that South South people have completely detatched themselves from Ndi Afghaneasthern... 273 Likes 13 Shares

Very unfortunate, the number of illiterate Nigerians online. Tueh! Dave Umahi's lawyers applied to withdraw a case of Stay of Execution, because they had successfully filed an appeal, which makes stay of execution mere academic..The judge acted in the same vein to struck out the case after PDP lawyers did not oppose the motion. 5 Likes |
