Geoffrey Onyeama must know that Nigerians are enlightened and well informed on the causes of Russian-Ukrainian war.

And in this war, the Russians are very justified both morally and legally to use force to prevent NATO's entry into Ukraine. No sensible man would allow his enemy plant missiles in his backyard.

Over the last 20 years, NATO had actively been looking for trouble, by expanding its military infrastructure closer and closer to Russia, in defiance of the agreement that NATO wouldn't extend beyond the Elbe river.

NATO entrance into eastern Europe and deliberate actions to undermine Russia's security, is an evil act. The US didn't tolerate Russia's missile in Cuba; why then does NATO think the Russians would accept NATO's missile in its backyard.

Onyeama must keep his ignorance aside and shut up. Enlightened Nigerians support Russia. Although we regret that the Ukrainians had been unwise.

Nigeria must not take sides. Onyeama, don't mislead us.

Because Ukraine is militarily weaker, right?

Yeah like Nigeria stupidly did not sanction Niger and Chad when it noticed terrorist sects penetrating it through the use of religion and brotherhood. Today, we are paying severely both in resources and bloodshed for over 10years now... Russia is only being proactive.

There goes an ignorant person.
Every superpower have their own sphere of influence. Russia has, US has, China has, Britain has, France has.
These superpowers are expected to respect and stay away from each other's sphere of influence.
But US uses Taiwan to Poke China, and uses Ukraine to poke Russia.
It is illogical that a superpower would not act to preserve its sphere of influence and allow a military organization like NATO to encircle it.
Try that with US, try it with China, try that with Britain, and you would get exactly the same result as what we are seeing with Ukraine.
Ukraine is allowing itself to be used as pawn and a dispensable guinea pig in this geopolitical chess game.

You say Nigeria should not take sides while saying something else

You want Nigeria to.support Russia

Oga, stop supporting russia, ukraine or America. What is happening in Ukraine are two political blocs using russia and the us to fight their fight.

At the end, ukraine has the right to be independent, russia also has the right not to be encircled by NATO. Russia invading ukraine is wrong just as us invading Afghanistan and iraq is wrong and encircling Russia is wrong.

And both the pro and anti russia blocs in the Ukraine are both too immature to sort out their differences, which is why we are here.

Nigeria should support neither side. Supporting either side means supporting injustice either way. So, best we stay out. Not our fight, not our hill to die on

You maxe good points. And you are being realistic

But at the end of the day, Ukraine too also does have the right to freedom of action, and if they choose to join NATO, so be it.

Also , Russia too has the right not to be threatened by the us. But invading ukraine is not thw right way to.do it, plus it is in essence supporting one Ukranian side against the other. Plus it makes matters worse.

And let's be honest the spheres of influence stuff does not work out. A lot of the problems latin America has is due to it being in the us sphere of influence.

Whatever you beleive about this conflict, nations should not violently intervene in nations. And yes , goes for us interventions all over, same for russian interventions. They are at the end of the day, wrong

You make good points too, but the truth is Russia has been repeatedly invaded in the past, sometimes by countries whom it had a peace treaty with.

Therefore, every russian leader is natturally suspicious by nature.

Infact even animals have their sphere of territory. An example is lions. As a pride, lions control a territory which if any lion outside their pride should cross could lead to it's injury or death. It's an instinct to defend your territory. It's same instinct with all of your illustrations above.

Just yesterday morning, an uncle of mine was discussing with me how to him Russia is wrong to have chosen to attack her neighbour, Ukraine in a bid to invade them so as to deter their ambition of becoming a member of NATO. His excuse was, Ukraine is a sovereign Nation hence Russia has no right to tell them what is best for them.

So, I quick called my uncle to a very recent incidence and how he reacted.

My uncle has this semi-detached double flat bungalow. That is two flats attached to each other. His family lives in one while the other flat he recently sold because he needed money badly.

Unknown to him, the buyer of the other flat is into black market, selling Petrol. He hoards Jerry cans of Petrol in their flat.

So I asked my uncle, why did he kept on warning them to stop hoarding Petrol and when the did not desist why did he eventually report them to the police? Is it not their house and the can do whatever they like with it?
He kept quiet. Then, i asked if it was Jerry cans of water would you have bothered? He said no.
Then I said just like Russia bothered by the calamity it will bring to them if they allow their enemies to gain closest proximity to them is the same calamity you were bothered about if that flat you already have sold should be caught by fire and how it will affect you.

Why did you not say "SINCE THEY ARE NOW THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS THEY CAN DO AS THEY LIKE".

Russia is only being realistic. Will the U.S not react if Canada, Mexico or any of her boarder countries should allow Alqeada have powerful military bases in their country? Sotall? A friend of your enemy is also your enemy.

sotall:

I guess you have not been paying attention.
Russia has been blowing the Trumpet for a long time that NATO should stay away from Ukraine, its backyard.
Russia has signed several agreements with NATO and Ukraine for Ukraine be neutral zone in that hemisphere.
Russia didn't just wake up one day and decided to invade Ukraine. It is because of broken agreements on the part of NATO and Ukraine.
BTW, since the fall of the Soviet Union and The Warsaw Pact, what is the use of NATO, and why has NATO, instead of being slowly disbsnded, has rather been expanding eastward, encircling Russia.
I'm not a fan of Putin, but when pushed to the wall, I'm not sure there is any leader who would not flex military power, talkless of a military superpower in this case.

Illogical conclusion!

First Humans and wild animals do not live or reason the same way.
In the wild, anything goes. With humans there are laws.

As for your uncle, he is right not to fold his arms why his neighbor hoards fuel.
This is because, it is a crime in Nigeria constitution to hoard fuel. Fuel is a government controlled commodity and only government determines the price and distribution.
So his concerns are justified.

Now why didn't your Uncle take a cutlass or gun and invade his neighbor's apartment? That will be wrong.
The right thing to do is to report him to the police.

So you can see, Russian invasion of Ukraine is unjustified.

It only shows that you are not a student of international affairs. You don't even know what has been going on sotall.

"The Russian position has been quite explicit for some time. It was stated clearly by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at his press conference at the United Nations: “The main issue is our clear position on the inadmissibility of further expansion of NATO to the East and the deployment of strike weapons that could threaten the territory of the Russian Federation.” Much the same was reiterated shortly after by Putin, as he had often said before.
