Hmmm a landing ship tank? Who does the Nigerian Armed Forces feel like it may be invading in the future? Where going to need a lot more than one for a proper ambitious invasion.

South Africa comes to mind

Let the girl face her studies please

Kingsnairaland:
He dressed like a woman to follow the civilians excape when Russia created safe passage.

This is one reason why they were begging for help.

Ukraine is not winning forget those fake news today in nairaland when Donbass falls we will report it and laugh at fake news.


God bless putin God bless mother Russia.

So because they captured "a Canadian General", Ukraine is not winning. NA wa for Nigeria's educational system.

Kingsnairaland:
Many people still don't know that Russia won the second world War....

And they will win the third world war.


God bless putin God bless mother Russia.

Go and research many instances of US help to Russia during the 2nd World War. US, Great Britain and Russia in that örder were the winners of the second world war

kabe1:
I for one will prefer the fighting between Russia and Ukraine go on for at least 10 years.

This will give Nigerian the opportunity to complete Train 7, AKK gas pipeline and all the other refinery projects with high yield prospects.

We also get to see excellent combat footage as 2 extremely racist countries engage in battle.

What's really not to like.

This is one of the most intelligent posts I have seen on Nairaland recently.
This is national interest focused thinking

Border closure: created the protectionist environment that helped the establishment of many large, medium and small scale rice mills.
Unbelievable number in the last two years. The figures I have from Chinese and Indian rice machine manufacturers about sales to Nigeria is like wow. Nigeria can now compete better in the global rice community.
We hope smugglers have been taking out of business, if not the borders would be closed after elections. People should not be smuggling rice.

Twitter: Proper registration in Nigeria, corporate and other offices known. They will subject themselves to Nigerian laws and regulatory imperatives. They will pay taxes.
They will ensure their algorithms are fair to all social groupings, individuals and governments.
They won't be used to forment social disorder

I have noticed most EU countries are ready to cut Russian oil. Their politicians and media have been planting alarming stories just to psy ops Russia. There at least two months supply of energy storage bought at discount from Russia while alternatives were been sourced from opening mothballed coal and nuclear power plants to better inter country selling of electricity.

Meanwhile, summer is coming in two months.

KINGSATANREBORN:
Illegitimate child.

There is no such thing

Kingsnairaland:
Russia hypersonic weapons tests has reset their minds.

Small pikin talk. Ukraine also makes money from Russian gas passing through its pipeline and western cöuntries need good economies to fund their defence
and keep sending Ukraine weapons to kill the invaders.
The global system is funny but that is the way it is.

They will stop buying Russian oil but again only small pikins think such things happen in a day

baralatie:
S300 have been taken out extensively

That is why the bombers and jets can operate

Nope. S300s have been hidden. We are going to read about some unfortunate Tupolev crashes over Russia or Crimea soon

DerrickzB:
First time Russia is using a modern bomber, lets not talk about when they roll out another one or two!! And they said Russia is weak yeah Hehehe

TU 22 is a modern bomber?.Nairaland is full of ignoramuses

davefurn:
Well, from what you typed; you accepted the facts that this is a proxy war. Lets keep watching, then us isn't a failing a power for not taking vietnam or afghanistan then even with their air superiority. Or I forgot they joined together with NATO (30 countries) but still failed. What do we now call them?.... Failures?? ........... Am not justifying any war but don't judge on emotions and CNN; Taking back kherson, they have been shouting that since March but now mid-april everyone is quiet.... Us and nato are not failures, they spend trillions of dollars on military but still fumbled in afghanistan without even a single sanction; nahhhh they aren't failures, having almost 10x the military budget of Russia....... Ukraine is winning, yhhhhh but they have been receiving billions of dollars worth of training since 2014 by us but they should have claimed victory by now(I forgot all their military assets were destroyed, they have to beg for new weapons); this is their territory, why is a downtrodden country like russia sponsoring their rebels and still kicking asses......... No one is perfect but all is fair in a war. Whoever wins is okayyy but I still feel for the poor ukraine; they're about that learn nothing is free from a capitalist economy..... Wait, that's not all pentagon is claiming their anti-tank weapons in their inventory are almost finished(haven't confirmed the source though, treat it as bogus)

İ am talking about Ukraine, you 'və run again to the US. The US is what it is. Everything you are seeing is about the courage, heart, fiestiness and military operational technology of the Ukrainian. If you have inferiority complex for the US, you will miss the importance of these qualities that I hope Nigerians imbibe.
US has backed many losing sides before in Cuba, S. East Asia etc but Israel and Ukraine are exceptions and it is the will and quality of the people.

On the other side Is Russia; over hyped, dependent on oil and gas, weak, un agile and cursed with a corrupt nepotistic military

davefurn:
But they aren't gods or something.... Lol, this is NATO handiwork, that ship was like 50 yrs old......they accepted their L; but media quiet as Ukraine is getting their arse whooped. Mauripol is almost taken, remaining odessa now. Nigeria should just play their international politics well, that's all I care about....

Mariupol is a big failure for Russia. You are too weak in the mind and afraid to admit it. Almost taken for 6 weeks. Ukraine is taking back Kherson and making a mess of Russia in Kharkiv. They even find time from killing Russian soldiers to attack Russian cities and military depots.
As for Odessa, almost the entire NATO is hoping they go for it.

A lot of you were brought up on hype. Russia is a failing power - a fearful, paranoid land of one maximum ruler and a few oligarchs...a people scared of basic freedoms, diversity and modernity.

ken6488:
The official representative of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense said that for the first time since the beginning of the operation, Russia used Tu-22M3 long-range bombers. The bombing hit the Nazis who had settled on the Mariupol "Azovstal".

The use of these bombers is a bad sign for Ukraine. The fact is that the height of the Tu-22M3 is so high that all kinds of stingers and other NATO gifts simply cannot get them. And thanks to the electronic warfare systems on bombers, it is difficult to hit them even with S-300s and BUKs.[url][/url]


This is bad news for Ukraine , seems Russia has started rolling out the big guns, seems like Russia doesn't want to hold back again

I. Believe if the west really push Russia nukes might be used

You don't have all the facts my friend.
The TU22M3s are actually easier to shoot down with Ukraines S-300 missiles. The fact that they are launching bombs from very high up also means the strikes are not precision strikes which is good for combatants on the ground but not so good for harmless civillians.

Can you bet with me that 2 or 3 of these strategic bombers are coming down within a month ...over Belarus or Russia?

Ukraine does not have 456 drones. Rüssian bots should get a söftware upgrade

ovieigho:


But I don’t think it’s own “Rotimi “ is that Yoruba name that means “durotimi”( Rotimi) o
I think rivers has names like “ ebiitimi “, ndutimi “rotimi…etc ….which might be different meanings

Nope. Ikwerre man. Not Ijaw

Appleyard:
Ukrainian propanganda that they hit the ship with Neptune missiles. What a joke.

The Ukraine I know will film themselves releasing the missiles and hitting the ship and put it on social media since that is where they're winning the war. But here, no filming of the missile being released, no evidence of ship sunk. Even the US have said it cannot verify the Ukrainian claims.

The ship probably hit a floating mine since there are lots of them in that area, or some form of incidence within it. Ukraine is just claiming a glory that doesn't belong to it to high moral amongst it's forces as many of them have been surrendering en mass lately.

The ship probably hit a floating mine (not true) but you don't realize how pathetic even that sounds of Russia?
It is a disgrace.
They don't have the capability to be invading a country like Ukraine

DoctorOlasDesk:
You're deceiving yourself. How will British do turn around maintenance for installations that were installed by Russians from the onset with all units and components up till manual written in Russian language and heavily dependent and reliant on Russian engineering tech?.

Its what happens when people get overly sensational all of a sudden. Russia since USSR has been very good to Nigerians, don't lift a finger in a battle that is bigger than you.


Now to the core issue at hand. The Ajaokuta steel complex was developed by the country by the Russians from the very onset and the Russians took pre-emptive measures to ensure anything around it is done through them and them only.


Almost the entire schematics have Russian inscriptions and manuals and operators needed to be solely trained by Russians to operate them


Secondly, some of the core operational resources used in the production chain line can only be supplied by Russia. No other nation on earth has these highly specialized resources and components

Hence, nothing can be done to Ajaokuta steel complex without the Russians.


Why then has it been made useless for over two decades without use as other like steel industrial complexes.

Here lies what the whites are not telling you guys. British and Russians alike. I know these well hidden truths first hand, cause as a genius with 160+ IQ, I'm privy to highly classified information across these complex issues. Saying this humbly. Though



To make any nation great, one doesn't need politicos, lack of corruption like APC and PDP have both been throwing banters for years


To make any nation great, a nation needs key things like :

Highly operational chemical industrial completed, highly optimized metal refining and processing complex which ranks as the core bedrock of all forms of heavy productivity and industrialization.


So, here's the bane of the matter, take away any nations ability to heavily produce,refine nd process metals and such a nation becomes useless. I dare to say it anywhere



Mind you guys, between 2001 and today over $60 Billion has been spent on revamping the steel complex in batches of $2- $20 Billion for every time it hits the news that repairs are been done.


Guess what guys, it takes average of $15-20 Billion dollars to build a modern one


Same strategy to make the oil and gas industry useless is what's playing here to. The oligarchist and the deliberate desire to keep the nation under developed is the motive behind this.


Who knows if Dangote will also spot this opportunity.

You are completely ignorant.
There are too many non technical people posting stuff

The UK company is probably mainly going to be Indians. They will commission and probably operate the blast furnaces, billet makers and ancilliaries. Most of the specialized machines and spares that at have no western equivalences would be retrofitted or still come from Rüssia through India.

There are astute ways to beat sanctions and there are throwimg your hands in the air.

VictorUSA:
Americans will never tell you how advanced they are.Putin can keep flaggin his muscles.

Everything is now reversed. Decades ago it was USSR hiding its military secrets. These days, Putin boasts of projects that have not been fully operationalised while US plants stories that a newly developed piece of equipment failed a test but the USAF is buying 300 of them anyways.

iblawi:
No Ukrainians are just lucky to get alot of support from EU/US. If it was just Ukraine and Russia this war would have been over in the 1st 2 weeks of the war.

Ukraine is an arms manufacturing country with a technologically proficient military. They are also fiece fighters

AirFireEarthH20:
90% of Mariupol is already destroyed by Russia while you guys continue with your devilish propaganda. I only pity Ukrainians that listen to your guys.

Russia is killing buildings while AZOV is killing Russian soldiers

Dalil8:
Terrible.

Ukranian Nazi soldiers are tying them up and leaving them to freeze in the cold.



Nothing less than 100,000 Ukranian's have died since the war began. But the MSM would never report that.

Civillians. They are reporting them. Russia and its leader, Putin are the most foolish people on earth.

ayoncox:
May be in Europe and America not Africa.

Your evil plans will fail again

This is how things are in heaven. Don't you want to be in heaven?. In any case what do you really own?

The hypersonic missile would mostly be a glide body.
Nothing is powering it in the terminal phase. It has been hurled like a kite from a scramjet powered propulsion. It probably does not have a metallic body surface so forget magnetism.
Hypersonic misiles can be intercepted.

Officialgarri:
If Russia has lost 10,000 for real, then Ukraine has lost over 100,000 already leaving out the civilian casualties

Joke. You are deceiving yourself but Putin is not. He will lose 120,000 troops and 60 Generals at this rate.
This is FAILURE on a scale not seen in modern times

orohbiro:
You have been auguring about this issue for weeks and u never knew Putin was once general gush! I won't waste my precious time with u anymore.

Putin was never in the military. Lawyer, KGB agent, even the KGB sərvice was by man know man.
The man is a fake who manufactures crises to be popular

The bond holders get nothing. They are expecting nothing. Russia is just trying to make a lame point. This is an insurance issue sef.

Bluntguy:
But they are succeeding in the invasion sha. America and NATO have abandoned Ukraine.

The invasion has failed. Impossible task. I would advise the Russians to continue but the mission is doomed to failure. If they succeed and take up to 20 cities including Kyiv, that is when their problem just started.
I estimate 150,000 Russian troops dead within one year of an active, high tech insurgency that Ukrainian militias and NATO countries will organise.

This will scrape the fabric of the Russian nation and cause a leadership struggle and / or a civil war within Russia.

Belarus as we know it might disappear completely as a statist entity.

This is like Ajegunle beer parlour owner banning the Pope from his establishment.

Mooh247:




Big gain for Russia as they are number one exporter of LNG, Ukraine and Russia supplies 1/3 of the world wheat used for pastry and bread, they have huge Crude Oil and petrol chemical supply deals outside OPEC

Devaluation of currency is a big win for exporting countries

Only a country like Nigeria that imports everything with dollars would cry over currency devaluation.. net export countries like China celebrate currency devaluation


.

MK9

There are sanctions on my friend. They can only trade with China. Venezuela will soon agree not to buy Russian. Maybe İran too

Why is ManCity looking so nervous. Na only ManU now

Lurker4Long:
I don't understand people who continue spreading this fake photo. In 1973 Putin was a 20 year old university student. He was never involved in African struggles. That is not Mnangagwa in that picture.

This was the first thing I did when I saw the picture. Googled Putin's date of birth and education history.
He was barely 20 years.
Some Nigerian youth have been so badly educated and damaged that simple analytical skills are lacking
