Congratulations Fernandez, you have performed an unbelievable feat. It's astonishing how you stood by Ukraine's side even when all the odds were against them. I learnt something from you through this episode. Congrats for your steadfastness.

Abstention means they abstained from voting. They chose not to vote, in other words.

Nigeria inclusive. Very unfortunate.
Its not unfortunate. Its a smart move, particularly from Nigeria. Why choose a side when you can deploy your precedent neutrality to exploit both sides? Besides, we still have some pending deals that are yet to be consummated with the Russians. Completing the Ajaokuta Steel Complex, the supposed backbone of our industrialization is one of many. Steel Technology transfer is another.

Another reason is that Nigerians at home are divided in opinions, with some supporting Russia and others supporting Ukraine. And foreign policy and actions are supposedly nothing but a reflection of local/national interests, politics and populist emotions cheesy

keep an eye on GOD'S Prophetic time piece, Israel. The state of Israel Boldly voting against Russia is so Unusual and speaks loudly of what is Coming ahead.

GOD ALMIGHTY is setting up the Nations to Fulfill HIS Word.

We are living in real Biblical times and the Word of GOD is purely being Fulfilled before us.


Please sir with due respect, everything must not be used to justify endtime which we all know is coming close. But this time you went off the mark. The affairs of men is distinctly separated from the plans of God. You must not say things you feel because they are not what God want. If God clearly direct one to speak let him speak but do not speak out of self intuition and declaring it is God's words. We all know Israel is the closest Ally of the USA. So since US is championing total isolation of Russia where do you think israel should be? Or did Israel tell you that they were afraid of Russia? Abeg preach and stop misintepreting the biblical prephecies about endtime. Peace!!!

Hmmm Apart from Seychelles as an African country I noticed as the only country bold enough to have voted against Russia here, I pity all African countries and most of the Arab countries with their indecision to vote against Russia and for their neutral stands here and for most of the Arab countries who voted in favour of Russia. Anyways I must say most of these countries that does not see Russian aggression in Ukraine your days of woes and Ruins is also loading when the rest of the world would turn a blind eye to your plight. When tyrants and confussionist are in power and flourish, how can you expect to see human and infrastructural development other than the strong arms of insecurity and injustice with impunity and total disregard for human right. Karma is an undertaker that always come around. We shall all reap what we sow and what is coming to us all. I see Russian and China communist lobby and blood money conspiracy evenly fashioned out across Africa and most of the Arab countries that has total disregard for Human right. God bless Turkey for the exceptional bold move and bold stance here. If economic development comes to a halt and become grounded in Africa, let it be on the record that we are all paying for our bad choice of government representative and for the sins of lack of accountability from our government and our self imposed crippling anti-west ideology. Wether we like it or not, in Africa, our sins will catch up with us someday. The monster we have created will continue to hunt us and would for sure someday come home to roost if not crowned as king. For me, it has always been God bless America and all NATO allies. God bless Ukraine. One with God is majority. Where there is liberty, Tyrants would continue to tremble and be repressive. As Africans, we seemed to have been mentally attuned and aligned with the heavy arms of dictator and tyrant with whips on our back as our leaders who opress and represses every semblance of democratic ideals and pay less attention to the progressive and evolutionary social human right of the common man and makes law only to favour their elite colleague and victimizes the common citizens at the lower rungs of the ladder

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


You don't force people to like you, you make them respect you and there's no way you won't (pretend to) like someone you respect.

We need to learn from China. Until we have a government that's serious about the acts of governing right, we can never be on the right path to progress and neither can we be respected anywhere.


Having the most intelligent and empowered individuals doesn't even buy respect, having the most intelligent government does. A government that knows how to play its card in economic policies, turn the country around and make it a hub for investment by serious investing in the people and infrastructure will secure respect of any other country. Even if they don't like you, they will pretend they do just to show that they respect you.

Instead of Looking for a way so settle the conflict, they are busy sanctioning Russia

Not just "sanctioning", they were (and still), pouring more weapons into the Conflict because PEACE is never in the interest of a MAJOR WEAPONS MANUFACTURER!
America earns a lot of Money, from waging Wars and pouring Weapons into conflict Zones.

Most Nations are SCARED of what damage the USA will do to them, from stealing their foreign Reserves, to Trade Embargo and shutting down their financial system and even levying War on them, if they dared to not Vote in Support of anything that America wants.

India, as big-a-country s it is, has been threatened severally by America (and they are trying to destabilise the President Modhi's Govt, by sponsoring internal Opposition to impeach the Indian President) when it VOTED AGAINST America's Resolution against Russia, at the UN Security council, about two weeks ago.
Today, it DID NOT VOTE "against" THE American-sponsored Resolution, instead, India ABSTAINED!
Now, imagine the FEAR that is going on in the mind of those "SMALL AND WEAK " Nations who voted in-support of the Resolution, if they dared not to!.

As strong and big. as China is, America has been threatening them to either tow the American line or get "Sanctioned".
One Nation cannot be threatening everyone else and forcing them to do what it wants.
That is not the FREEDOM God gave Humans
.


But there is a silver lining to these "International Bullying".
Many Countries and their Leaders are seeing clearly, what would also happen to them, if they ever dare to be the Master of their own destiny. It is also hastening the effort to find an alternative to storing the Wealth of other Nations in American Vaults pr using the Dollar to Trade Internationally,. while America just PRINTS the Dollar-Paper Money, in exchange for the Sweat of others.

This war was between Russia and America/EU Allies, Ukraine was just a Pawn.
No Empire lasts forever, that is one FACT that History has made clear, . .... to those who can study and understand History

Those "Abstain Votes" says a lot!
They are Countries who hate what America is doing but cannot, OUT OF FEAR, openly challenge America by Voting against it.
You dont usually challenge someone you cant fight. undecided grin

But the World's GREATEST RESPECT goes to those Countries who, despite their fear of America, were still BOLD ENOUGH to Vote against the american Resolution. Some of these countries are as small as Eritrea, Mali, Bolivia, CAR, Burundi, etc!
It takes a lot of guts, to vote against a Super-Power Bully like America.

BTW: That "Biggest Consulate/Embassy in the world" being built in Lagos, despite Nigeria already having two of such American infrastructure, should worry intelligent Nigerians.
I hope it is not going to become another Guantanamo Bay (Cuba) or Abu Graim (Iraq) Okinawa (Japan) or any of the American Military Bases scattered in different parts of the world where the country wants them out but they just wont leave. undecided undecided

Anyway only counted votes is what matters, votes of anyone who decides to sit on fence is inconsequential, funny if abstained votes where counted for Russia, majority supported the resolution.
