Nice . Any news carried by reuters is confirmed!

Seriously, I still wonder why Russia was given so much power by the west in the past to misbehave thus way. Russia is jist 2 points ahead of Nigeria in oil endowment. Russia is 8th in the world while Nigeria is 10th. They earn over 1b usd from gas sales.

I guess the west hates blacks else they'd have considered Nigeria for their gas dependency instead of going to Russia. Our bonny lite crude was adjudged the best in the world so, why are the west not buying from us as much as they do Russia and other countries of like-colour? I'm sure some people would ignorantly cite corruption but Nigeria wasn't this corrupt as far back as 90s and some western countries were even more corrupt than Nigeria as of then.

2ndly, our soil is more virile for farming than that of Russia. Here we don't always need fertiliser to grow crops especially down south.

Unfortunately for Russia, instead of using the gas proceeds to better the lots of their people, they were busy using it to stockpile weapons. My cousin who schooled in Russia and speaks their language like locals had to leave there after his studies . He said there's nothing in that country , no jobs . He left for America instead.

Back to the matter, why have we not received as much patronage as russua by the west on our crude and gas sale? If its construction of gas pipeline that's an issue, glo and mainOne had proved many wrong by channeling their Internet submarine cables from Europe down to Nigeria, which many banks and corporate bodies now depend on. We could have achieved our gas pipeline to Europe through North Africa. I think the west hates us.
Opinion needed and please be civi
Maybe geographical proximity and historic ties is a factor. Same way African countries would obviously buy more from Nigeria than Russia.

Russia wants to grab lands. Putin even mentioned that Ukraine is not a country. When Russia annexed crimea in 2014, west did not do anything. They just talked. Putin is insatiable.

Same Human Rights Council wey Trump pulled USA out few years ago….. it’s irrelevant!!!!

Back in June 2018, during the presidency of Donald Trump, the US resigned from the Human Rights Council itself, denouncing many of its members as “authoritarian governments” with “abhorrent human rights records.” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said at the time that Washington “will not take lectures from hypocritical bodies and institutions, as America… selflessly gives its blood and treasure to help the defenseless.” The Biden administration returned to the UN body in October 2021.

My own is that Nigeria, Southy, Egypt, Ghana and other main African country choose to stay away from their issues. Slowly, Africa is getting there. Nothing concern us with their wars.

Europe has been ruling world since time of Alexander the Great. More than 2000 years ago. Greece, Rome( Italy), Britain. Even USA is an offspring of British empire.
Most of global powers are Western European nations.
