Shehu Sani's post shares a photo of six Nigerian men in Russian military gear, likely in Ukraine, credited to "Mr Obiorah," spotlighting how economic desperation drives Nigerians to join foreign armies for better pay and opportunities.

Russia is an over hyped super power. So after almost four years, they are still seeking help of mercenaries from third world countries to defeat 'little' Ukraine. Shame  104 Likes 5 Shares |

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ These are the only real jobs available under Tinubu’s regime, I mean, the kind you can actually get without knowing anybody. Not those flashy Friday announcements of “who’s who” children,secret cult members,party affiliates, getting appointed to one government board or another. And guess what these mercenaries will eventually become in Nigeria, when the Ukraine war is over.....Kidnappers and Insurgents....The cycle continues. 60 Likes 3 Shares |

SeverusSnape:Most developed nations, Russia included, are running out of people, because not enough new citizens are being born Already it is at crisis point in Japan and Korea. Infact, Japan and Russia both have the dubious statisitc of having more people dying than being born Many nations, like the USA , solve the problem via more and more immigration....which is causing a lot of ruckus(If not for high levels of immigration, legal or not, USA would be at the same level as Japan and Russia..which is why some people are worried about trump's anti-immigration policy) Russia isn't willing to take as many immigrants , Japan and South Korea are not very friendly to immigrants (Japan self is a country where white people feel discrimated against...loll. Also, Japanese and South Korean racisim is the kind that says that the 'blood must be pure..no mixing). Modified Should point out that the demographic crisis too affects countries like Ukraine, which is why they have a foreign legion too. It's very serious. Some Europeans and Asians dismiss the problem, saying that lesser people means lesser strain on economies...however, as some point out, a population with elderly people in the majority, and too few young people working...means that taxes won;t be paid to fund pensions and services...whahala starts. Russia also took a large hit in world war 2. It lost far too many young men in the war...and that has also affected population growth. 74 Likes 3 Shares |

jmoore:You people don't understand the dynamics of modern warfare. Russia cannot go all out in the fight against Ukraine. They could obliterate Ukraine in a matter of minutes. But that would lead to world war. I do not support Russia in this fight though, nor do I appreciate Nigerians making themselves available for this war of blame. 6 Likes |

War needs manpower. If us fight war for more than 1 years they will recruit people all over the world. Howany of you know Nigerians soldiers fought the 1st world war? The Nigeria civil war. Even the Nigeria were short of men at a point. It was during the time a lot of illiterate northerners who can't even speak English where allowed into the army. Biafra on the other hand forced children into joining the army. The strategy is to deplate Russia military. But they need them in Russia. So hense they need people on the battlefield. 2 Likes |

Serenitys:Putin made it clear he would use recruits so the war drags on for what is it now? Four years That doesn't seem like the tactics of a sound mind When the war started, nairaland "experts" and Putin's fanboys told us within a week, it'll be over. The war is entering its 4th year and Russia hasn't made headway. It can't even capture or assassinate Zelensky, the comedian. 2 Likes |

Yankiss:[color=#006600][/color] They can't go all out war but have suffered over 1.5m causality. What they have not used is only nuclear weapons. Infact they relied on North Korea soldiers to push Ukraine out of their land. Common cities they can't take. They are paper tiger indeed 3 Likes |
