Casualty of war.

Ukraine should also release their own scores of dead Generals killed by the Heavenly sent Russian troops.

Russia should tell the world how many they've killed.

mauchiz:
Love ur neighbour as you love yourself, Putin stop the war and show more love, and you will have less enemies. Why do most of the European countries like America? They show them love.
Putin show some love, stop the war.

He has no love, even for his own citizens.

MangekyoAlt:
I am sorry. I didn't even read the comment before now. But really, the US should encourage more diplomacy at this point. Humans are suffering. Zelensky should agree with the neutrality status russia wants and all these will stop in a heartbeat

Russia wants demilitarization of Ukraine. There's no country that would accept such a proposal. What's a country without its military?

Godmademan:
Did they disappear or escaped on foot after abandoning their vehicle?

They can snatch any other vehicle at the other side of the blockade.

starbuck:
Mr Comprehension, ọ ya na, believe the make-believe story that's been purported to you

Guy. Can't you read? Do they have to attack the robbers before they block road?

The road would have been barricaded while the robbery was ongoing. The robbers moved in a bid to escape out of town only to see that the road is blocked. They then had to abandon vehicles and find other means to escape. This is simple logic now. Any adult would understand.

buckeyemedia:
They have no land, after they were driven from the Middle East, like they were driven from Egypt, they roamed around Europe for over a thousand years, until Europe & America decided to dash them Palestine land in 1948.

The greatest injustice of apartheid till date for the Palestine, a second class citizen on your land.

Chai! This your ignorance is cancerous.

Israel that was a super power in its hay days. Their kings ruled over many other nations and subjugated them.

It was sin against God that made God scatter them. The scattering was foretold. It was fulfilled 40yrs after Jesus was crucified. The Bible also foretold that God would gather them again in the later days. It was fulfilled in 1948.

The Bible already said that after Israel gathers again to their land, the world would experience turbulent times as the end of the world approaches. Find good books to read and educate yourself about things around you before you make ignoble comments on social media.

buckeyemedia:
They have no land, even when Papa Abraham ran away from Tehran Iran, he promised the people who gave him land, that he will not try & claim their property in future, never trust a Jew, let alone the father of Jews.

There's nowhere such a promise was made. Abraham bought the land with his own money!

Just40:
Check the defence contracts and which contractor gets which contract, then you can check which mercenary get which contract..

These are all public knowledge and not assumption.

Because no one wants war, especially Russia having to attack their own blood brothers in Ukraine...Their history runs too deep.

Unfortunately Russia has had enough for 8 years of watching on.

A few European countries benefit. Not all. We would expect that only the beneficiaries would support the US while the rest condemn Russia. Now, the reverse is the case. Even the non beneficiaries are condemning Putin. His own kinsmen at home are condemning him too. A rebellion is already underway in Russia. Only tyrants and world re-known bullies who want the USA out of the way so they could pepper the world are supporting this callous invasion.

Just40:
Where do you think those billions go if not to companies in those various countries.

Where those billions go is still an assumption. Provide statistical evidences if you're so sure.

Even the native Russians are protesting against Putin's actions. Who are you to decide what is right for those people?

Just40:
Yes they are fools who look away and create false justifications ...

The US share the loot with them, what do you expect...



Go and tell the Iraqis they are know for terrorism and that is why the US invaded their country and you'll receive a slap.

So, you're telling me you're the only wise man because you know better than the aristocrats and elites of those countries. America spends billions of dollars in all its peace keeping operations. So, tell me the loot it shares with them.

ValCon888:
Just imagine Canada becoming a Soviet Republic and a communist country. America will never allow it and will do to Canada what Russia is currently doing to Ukraine.

I'm not for anybody, just analyzing these events objectively.

Whether America or Russia, when your next door neighbor is a super power with nuclear capabilities, you have to choose your associates wisely.

Do you make friends with powerful associates who live faraway or you make peace with a powerful neighbor who is close by? That's the choice for Ukraine.

Now that Russia has invaded, the only thing Ukraine's "friends" are offering is sanctions.

No country is putting soldiers on the ground to help Ukraine stop the invasion.

This is a lesson for smaller countries to sit up and take notice.

Don't be used as a puppet to play big boy games.

Interesting times ahead because China is currently watching these events with glee.

Russia and China are known to back each other up.

If Russia can call the world's bluff to invade Ukraine, what's stopping China from doing the same and taking over Taiwan?

Interesting times indeed.

How can you sit down there and justify a thoughtless action on the basis of assumption? How are you so sure that America wouldn't allow Canada choose it's own companies as a sovereign nation?

If you think that's what America would do to Canada, you and I knows, it would be very wrong of America to do such. We would condemn the act. So, are you now saying Russia I right to do evil because you assume that's the same evil America would do if it was Canada? This your thinking is biased.

Just40:
You really don't get it... This is all about the US

Remember when they almost Nuked the world during the Cuban missile crisis? This is similar

US has been protecting weak countries while weakening strong countries who are known for terrorism.

Countries like Germany, Japan, United Kingdom etc are strong Countries. If the US has been wrong all these while, they would have condemned its actions. You cannot tell me that these countries and all other countries in Europe are fools who look away while USA continues its unacceptable indulgence.

Bigchristo:
The whole of Europe condemned Russia actions because they’re are under NATO except Belarus that stands with Russia, US also have military base around almost every territories in the world who is kicking against it? Who give them the right to do so? Why can’t other countries do it without consequences? What the US do once other countries do it y’all start screaming. To me Russia is doing what the US has done in the past is nothing new

Who's saying Russia too shouldn't have military bases?

Bigchristo:
Its not a biased assertion, the US will not fold it arms to watch Mexico or Bahamas and Cuba becoming allies with Russia without invading them, a country can’t be sharing border with a none allies NATO should stop trying to expand their territories to other peoples region, what’s their business in the Middle East? Go and look how they destroy Iraq, Iran Afghanistan and Pakistan Syria and Yemen stop lying to yourselves about this whole thing US and it allies are to blame

When Russia places military bases in those territories near the US, and the US responds with war, we'll blame the US. For now, this concerns Russia. All of Europe has condemned the action except Belarus. This is not about America and its allies at all.

Why give flimsy escuses on Russia's behalf?

Skooltynz:
You blame Putin?
Why can't NAto mantain their lane and let peace reign,no reasonable country wants to be surrounded by enemies America and Nato should leave two Slavic brothers alone let them sought out their differences.


Like for Russia share for NATO

Is Ukraine not a Sovereign nation? Did America force them to join Nato? Wasn't it Ukraine who indicated interest? What's America's fault in this? Can't Ukraine decide what is best for herself anymore? Your assertion is biased.

Chinese century my foot, when COVID was killing everyone,how much did your almighty China donate to WHO compare to US?

Go to SA and see what the Chinese are doing and other African countries,you hate for US just make you dumb and can't see that even China is not the saviour.

Those mind these Muslims. They hate America only because they regard it as a Christian country. Meanwhile, it's the same America that has been protecting their Saudi Arabia, otherwise Iran would have destroyed Saudi Arabia a long time ago.

OfficialAwol:
So what is the correlation between Lagos-Ibadan Rail line and trekking to Abuja?

Did you construct Lagos-Abuja rail line?

Or does it translate therefore that when people get to Ibadan from Lagos, they trek the remaining distance?

See the fool zombies are supporting.

So before the rail, were people trekking?

The places where the rail lines are not working yet, are those people trekking?

Buhari no just get sense. Just like his zombies and Tinubu urchins.

The man is telling you that once the train drops you at Lagos, you're already in Abuja. Therefore, Ibadan by train to Lagos is same as Ibadan to Abuja. Fulaniism at its peak.

DeepSight:
You really should stop because this is beyond nonsensical. What war did they fight against Israel to claim Jerusalem you ask. What a question, when there was no Israel to fight.

Please try to rein in yourself and do some research on the history of this matter.

aluyapreston:
Lol Russia GDP is below that of Portugal. Portugal for that money. Just check Russia's exchange value. they are only a little better than your dead country Nigeria in case you don't know. they have been feeling it for a long time. it will only get worse. You trying to undermine the USA and NATO strength simply show that you are simply bored with them being on top for so long. you don't have the stats to back up any area where Russia better the US military, weaponry, Economy, global appeal and Economic strength. I will keep telling you that China will not Fight for Russia. it will back out of that deal. China wants to rule the world and does not need another country making its land a target for Nuclear bombs

That's why I said they got the land for free which is imossible. Hence, the original owners can reclaim it. Lands are gotten by war or by legal acquisition. No other way.

DeepSight:
You see - as I suspected - you dont know anything of history. Do you know how many wars were fought over the "Holy Land" between the Roman sack of Jerusalem in the first century AD and the 20th century establishment of the modern state of Israel? Please, perish the thought that anything was gotten "for free."

Besides - I repeat: you cannot have a legal claim to land you abandoned 2000 years ago. Their legal claim can only derive from the international instruments which made the modern state of Israel possible in 1948. Which is just yesterday, historically speaking.

Many wars were fought but what war did the Palestinians fight against Israel to claim their land?

If they can't claim Jerusalem after 2000 yrs, then they can't claim anywhere. Even the current places they inhabit is illegal.

DeepSight:
I cant respond to this because it betrays too much ignorance of history.



Oh really? So how did Europeans become lords of North America when the "original owners" were not extinct?
And were the Canaanites extinct when the Jews grabbed the land from them in the first place?

You are probably just another slave to white people. You dont know anything about the world or history. You probably believe Jews are God's chosen people too. I find it hard to discuss with one such as you.

You're not reading me aright .

They didn't grab the lands for free. Land is mostly gotten by war. The Palestinians got another man's land for free. That's impossible. The owner can reclaim it.

DeepSight:
The Balfour declaration was the height of European cynical imperialistic manipulation.
I repeat - no one abandons land for 2000 years in this world and still claims ownership of it - no one. The movement of people is fluid. You will have other people who would have come onto that land the way you yourself came onto it and chased others away. A 2,000 year period is way too large for any such claim to hold water. Do you know how many generations pass in 2000 years? Almost a hundred generations. Its absolutely nonsensical to claim Israel's ownership of that land from 2000 years ago. If that should hold, we should also be arguing for the rights of Native Americans to all of North and South America - at least they were dispossessed merely 500 years ago.

The native Americans still are still part of America today. They're not claiming any injustice.

No matter how long a land has been abandoned, except you are the very person or your allies who chased out the original inhabitants, the owners could reclaim it at any time. Grabbing land for free, knowing too well that the original owners are not extinct is a no no no.

DeepSight:
No one abandons land for 2,000 years and then still claims its his own. No one. That is simply unheard of.

If it's not their own, then they have no right to claim anywhere in the middle East. That means even their current location is illegal. Hence, if they can legally claim any bit of their former lands as theirs, then, they can claim all that was previously theirs.

That's why the Balfour Declaration stated that Jews should return to their land. It did not state that, they should go and look for land. So, their land is still their land.

If you return to your land, and you find trespassers on it, you can take it back by law or by the use of force.

Topmaike007:
it is wrong to recognize a region like that as a capital

What's wrong with that? Jerusalem has been Israel's capital for more than 3,000 years. The Jews abandoned their land during the invasion by Rome. After returning to their land, they found Palestinians already encroaching.

The Palestinians are the ones tresspassing on Israel's land. They should leave their land for them and stop playing victim.

I don't have time for unnecessary questions. The same reason why you're misjudging my posts is the same reason why you have been misjudging matters in life.

Let me just use your last paragraph as an example of your obvious hypocrisy. Learning the ways of the kingdom, is that synonymous to learning to be a good king? So, you went to school to learn how to be a good student or to get educated? See the types of questions you're asking? They're very out of order. Perhaps you're not even reading the direct answers given to your questions. I don't have time for such hypocrisy.

How does rising cost of dollar affect cost of labour? What was the cost of labour before& what is the cost now?

Man, stop feigning ignorance. Even you right now know that if you happen to be an artisan, you wouldn't charge same amount today as you charged in 2013 when dollar was cheaper. So,you expect labourers to keep charging same rates in the farms?

If the cost of dollar doubles over a period of time, isn't it logical for you to understand that the cost of herbicides would double over the same period of time since they're Imported? That, coupled with declining supplies due to herdsmen activities and border closure adds more to food costs. Other products not related to the farms have their prices hiked for only dollar sake. While food is dollar sake plus other factors.

Gross misnterpretations!

You were the one who quoted the scriptures against Osinbajo saying "Woe unto them that are at ease in Zion." You used it for upbraiding Osinbajo for being comfortable in the government.

Regardless of one's Status before entering government position, one can do whatever he can do in government. Asking about the Joseph and Daniel's statuses before joining government is unnecessary. What counts is that they're in government.

Mordecai and Esther could only pray while the evils lasted. And, who told you that Osinbajo is not praying?

'Learn the secret of the wicked to succeed?' When did I ever say that? Must I break down words into simpler forms for you to know that you cannot know the cause of the nations problems and the people behind it without getting involved in government at the highest hierarchies?

What allegation of corruption or misdeed has been leveled on Osinbajo successfully for you to say he's not shining? Did he go to government to preach or to show good example? So far, his example in honesty, humility, passionate leadership and vision which has been attested to by many Nigerians are enough. Tell me what you'll do differently if you were him. I can see that you'll resign abruptly hoping to come back some day as president which may never happen again. And if it ever happens, you'll return as ignorant president coming to learn about the nation's fundamental issues afresh, resulting in massive failure as you are unable to figure out things quickly while the wicked in government continue to hide away and work behind the skin to frustrate your efforts.

David didn't go to learn how to be a good king. How can you draw such an inference? He learnt kingship, and the ways of the kingdom as I said previously. Osinbajo is not there to learn how to be a good president either but learning what the problems are and the best way to solve them as I said earlier. Why are you turning my words uiside down? Right now, I'm sure Osinbajo Knows why Nigeria is the way it is, and he also knows those responsible for the nation's woes. When he gets power, he can do the right thing for the God and for the nation. The man is in government for a purpose. He carries out the duties of his office very dutifully without flaws. That's what God has given him to do, and he's doing it with the whole of his might. Everyone knows that the guy is exceptional among all Nigeria politicians. He didn't take himself there. His appointment as VP is divine. He cannot leave government except by the commandments of God who put him there. For now, he plays his part according to the capacity given until him. He's not there to censor anybody or be an umpire to his colleagues in government. But at least everyone knows (both the elites and the masses) that he's making a difference. He shines. Never in the history of this country has there been several groups calling upon a VP to become president. Can't you see? Even the Pharisees couldn't see the Saviour when He came, but the common people did.

if he isnt comfortable in a govt u called evil, how has he been able to stay there for 7years? which wisdom are u referring to? is it the wisdom of men or the wisdom of God? which card is he playing? if he isnt comfortable with evil, he wont even be thinking of playing cards. the Bible says in Amos 6:1(amplified version) "Woe (judgment is coming) to those who are at ease and carefree in Zion (Judah) And to those on the mountain of Samaria who feel secure, The distinguished men of the foremost of nations, To whom the house of Israel comes".

in 2 corinthians 6:14, it says "what partnership does righteousness (good) with unrighteousness (evil)? meanwhile, you havent answered my questions:

did u just say "Right now Osinbajo has been exceptional. In all of his political career, there's no single flaw you can pin against him"?

as part of this evil govt, has osinbajo not been supporting, defending and ensuring the activities of this evil govt succeed? if he is so exceptional, how come he was so comfortable in the atmosphere of an evil govt?

You're quoting the scriptures wrongly. Government isn't Zion.

The governments of Babylon and Egypt were evil, yet Daniel and Joseph were part of those respective governments. We're called to shine the light in the midst of darkness, not run away from it. Mordeccai and Esther continued to serve the evil government of Persia until the table turned in their favour.

Being in the government with evil people does not imply complicity. We are in the world but not of the world. In fact, Paul wrote the Corinthians in 1Cor. 5:9-10:

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

If he leaves because of what he sees, how would he learn the secrets of the wicked in government? How would he gain the knowledge and the experiences needed to tackle the problems as well as the problematic people? It is wise for him to stay under the radar to study and learn things in practical terms. It would be foolishness to waste such a great opportunity. Even God brought David to evil Saul, so he might learn the ways of the kingdom before becoming a king himself.

Did Joseph condemn the activities of Pharaoh at any time? Did Daniel condemn the activities of the 2 evil emperors he served? Did David ever condemn Saul, even after he massacred all the priests of Nob? Wisdom is profitable to direct.

lexy2014:
if he isnt like them, how come he supports and defends them?

No he doesn't. You can mention instances if you have any. He only supports the ideologies he buys, while keeping mute on other issues. That definitely is Wisdom.
