How we love to deceive ourselves..
When the USSR broke up.
The number one condition was to disarm all the nuclear weapons belonging to former ISSR from the new States emerging.. Ukraine was one of them. Russia promised to guarantee their freedom and sovereignty and defend against Western aggression..at time, the energy was NATO.
So despite the agreement Between them, several former USSR states prodded by US joined NATO, Russia watched and complained. The world said nothing. The world did nothing.
It now finally came to the last man standing.
Ukraine.
Russia made sure it influenced not rig into power friendly presidents of neighbouring countries like Ukraine, Belarus etc to stem the tide of NATO creeping towards it's borders.
Enter Zelensky.. a professional clown and buffoon. He comes in and totally destroyed every single agreement and arrangement made by past presidents.. Crimea, DONBASS etc.
The West saw him as a dummy, the perfect fall guy, and used him to fight Russia while pulling strings behind the curtain.
One thing many know but due to personal reasons or dislike of Putin..US can't take one tenth of what they dish out..
In 1961, USSR wanted tto place missiles on Cuba, a sovereign country o..we all know what happened..they can't tolerate it yet they want Russia to swallow it.
It's a known fact by Military analysts worldwide..if Russia wanted to .. really wanted to invade Ukraine..it can't take them a week max to enter kyiv. Russia has been very lenient and soft handed with Ukraine, they are ethnically the same people, Putin knows that ,.
Ukrainians know that . Zelensky is a Jew. Let that sink in..

Shut up your mouth joor!
Your mouth dey smell.

Look at the screenshots below. That’s the Budapest Memorandum. The first, formal, internationally recognized security agreement Ukraine had with Russia after her independence and collapse of the USSR. She denuclearized; gave off her nuclear capabilities to Russia with assurances that she wouldn’t be victimized by any of the nuclear powers in future.
Oya Show me where NATO membership is mentioned there. The tone of the agreement showcases security assurances and provisions to a fragile Ukraine who could later be exploited in the future by the big powers.
Now show me where NATO membership appear for there. Russia was a signatory to this under Boris Yeltsin.
Show me the part of the argreement that addresses NATO expansion. Oya show me.

VillagePipu:
Your problem is that poverty, deprivation and lack of opportunity has made you despise good things.

Russia didn't win Afghanistan. They were forced to withdraw after a decade. You can look it up.

Leave that Muhammed’s foot soldier.
He’s disturbingly unstable.

Guyman02:
Keep quiet dia, always repeating CNN and BBC talking points.
If Ukraine didn't undermine Russia security by collaborating with Russia's mortal enemy called NATO there won't be this war, you want Putin and Russia to fold their hands and watch NATO destroy their country and kill their leader like it did to Libya and Gaddafi which Africa as a whole has been suffering from the consequences since 2011.

It's your type that was watching Al-Jazeera and cheering Alqaeda and calling them Freedom Fighters because Al-Jazeera told you that Gaddafi a man who turned Libya into the most prosperous country in Africa was suddenly a dictator killing his own people.

Keep posting articles on Nairaland about how Capt Ibrahim Traore is now stealing the Gold of Burkina Faso and killing Burkinabes, you think we are still in the era where we got all our information from CNN, BBC and Lagos Ibadan Expressway newspapers to support the beggarly comedian in Ukraine who has sacrificed millions of Ukrainians for his western puppet masters trying to fighter a bigger, more prosperous, stronger nuclear power like Russia.

Zelensky is even lucky that Putin sees Ukraine as brothers and is fighting with so much restraint and not doing what Netanyahu is doing to Gaza on them which he has capacity to do a multiple folds than Israel.

Heard about the Budapest Memorandum?
Can you explain what it’s about and why Russia could not keep it?

Heard about Russian-Ukrainian Friendship Treaty ?
Can you explain what it’s about and why Russia breached it?

I won’t bring up the Minsk agreements. Let’s stop there for now.
I want to give you a benefit of doubt that you have in-depth understanding of the issue discussed here.
Oya come up and clear the air. Let’s see how to size you up for the next advanced discussion.

Iamicekid:
And USA dey help this clown of a Ukraine leader to beg for cease fire while the idiot is launching attacks on Russia if Russia now returns fire, then all news agencies will come with different agenda and all, make Russia just rain hell on those motherfuvkers since them no wise to chase there clown of a president out, he just dey use there citizens life’s play while the bastards dey receive aids dey keep for his family

You talk like the last 3 letters of your moniker. It’s a stage of growth. We understand.

ednut1:
argue with the numbers not sentiments. For your information i have worked in a bank’s head office in assets and liabilities management. Only deposits/withdrawals from the likes of MTN, NBET, Shell, Dangote , Nigerian breweries and the like can move the banks balance sheet and fortune. Not your 10k account. Gerahere mehn

For your information i have worked in a bank’s head office in assets and liabilities management...

You obviously worked as a cleaner or messenger. Your language sold you out.

helinues:
Deji you are one of the people misleading VDM

So Falana should respond to VDM'S arrest, same VDM that attacked the whole Falana's family.

You have stopped reasoning . Did you call VDM out when he was attacking Falana's family?

This is how Africa thrives. Little wonder we have problems evolving and developing. Most Pan Africans I’ve seen who claim to love Africa are only pained witch hunters, just like Trump is. They want to get back at those who hit them yesterday. That’s how they prove to know their history. Same reason clear thinkers no longer take Prof Lumumba serious anymore.
The average Nigerian doesn’t fight for values. He fights for himself and his immediate gains. They call you a SAN not because you fight personal battles but because you also defend democratic values. Whether you’re directly involved or not. In as much as Falana is not involved in this, his body language to it, especially now that he’s been called out will go a long way.
VDM wasn’t picked the right way. That’s the whole essence of these rhetorics. Rules, values. These differentiate higher civilizations from jungles. But when men become stronger than institutions, then we get to have sad occasions as this.
Falana has the right to refrain or get involved but his body language here would be the strongest message he consciously or unconsciously sends to the people about his disposition as SAN. And this will re echo till the next issues he comes up to defend in the nearest future.
For those who read between the lines.

Gtb does not rely on us the 10k account balance retail customers to make most of its money . Nigerian are just too gullible .

See GTB income statement from last year. Net interest income ( interest they charge on loans which are mostly corporate loans) . Make una rest 😂

Eyaah…see fine head with only coconut water inside o.

Have you heard of the term “financial inclusion” before?

Why do banks try harder to cover wider spectrum of customer in different areas, even rural areas?
Why do they penetrate markets and campuses?
Have you ever come across their income statement on transactional charges levied on those 10k accounts you mentioned, in the space of 1 year?
Do you know how much transactions go on in market places on a daily basis?
Do you know the power of frequency in revenue generation?
If you’ve ever worked in any bank’s customer care department you’ll know that the easiest way to lose your job is to have an unsatisfactory feedback from a customer without regards to his account size.
Let 10 million 10k account holders ditch GTB this year and see if it won’t take a toll on their annual report.

Una go just open mouth waaah dey yarn bulaba.

[quote author=Fineman2 post=135245883][/quote]Ossai, pocket your money. Na people like you dey rubbish any kind of revolution wey go better the country, in the name of “go and get a job” or “idle youths”.
People like you are contented with everything around you so long as you still have your monthly salary, little Camry and some impoverished girls to impress; as a big boy.
People like you, the moment you cross over to Western countries, you come back here to enjoy worship. You lack basic understanding of what potentials a working environment can wield. You kill your values to fill your pocket. Your education is of no value to your environment…and the only thing that gives you a sense of worth is the 8 to 6 you keep chasing everyday.
We know your type.

Mr Man like I mentioned earlier in one of my post, Emotions and sentiment doesn't win war.
The most foolish person is Zelenskyy he was decieved by European nations and America to go to war he could have avoided through International diplomacy.
Do you know the number of sanctions melted on Russia?
Yet her economy is still waxing stronger day by day.
Let say the war ended today.
Ukraine would need like 20 yrs to get to were they before.
Which I strongly believed Putin will not agreed to that.
As for the Russian soldiers you made mentioned, the normal convention have not even joined the war.
As it stands now, Zelensky have two choices,
Accept the Putin s proposal or get captured by Russian forces very soon.

Disuan head don knock.
Follow dem say wetin dem say.

Common sense no dey.

There're some particular regions where a Muslim can get married to a Christian in the name of serving one god. That creates foundational crisis for the family unit and society as a whole.
Most Nigerians are illiterates by lifestyle and inclination, forget about their certificates from formal education. Tinubu is an illiterate, just like Buhari is. You see it by their approach to issues. Chinua Achebe of blessed memory was never an illiterate. Soyinka is currently in the bandwagon of dignified illiterates. Fela was sarcastic, but practically enlightened. He may have walked naked but was far in sync with factual realities that birth transformation and development.
Its so unfortunate that the majority of Nigerians who move and shake the system in terms of their significance in numbers, are mostly idiots.
Some lawmakers somewhere in the world are thinking of how to regulate immigration policies that are silent catalyst to local job losses. Some lawmakers here are talking about creating highways for cows in cities, create new States to expand their merchandise of sucking the national resources dry, and marrying more wives.
Idiots.

Most Nigerians are cowards.

The romance of most northern States with shariah is still the same romance BH and iswap have with shariah. The same shariah Moamar Gaddaffi wanted to dominate Africa and the world at large. Divide Nigeria along ideological lines. Let them have their Sharia like Iran.

Tochitee:
This tinubu sabi send people false arrand,this guy have successfully captured all his enemies! I understand his type of politics, give them false hope while laughing at them at their back for looking for what’s not lost!

My dear shut up. You don't know anything.
You took look at current Nigerian Presidency and still think nothing is lost?
Then something must be missing in your head.

Nonsense

Mentally useless, yet a country’s president

Princedapace:
Humiliate at what gain? Even the US gets knocked here and there. The russians arent even using their main weapons. U think Russia is stupid to use up all their resources so that other Nations cna invade it?
Nah, Putin is well experienced. He keeps using drone and few missiles, keeping main systems for future main wars. At this rate, Russia already gained 30 percent of Ukrainean land and will never get it back. Remeber that Ukrainean counter attack was to librate all of Russian held lands and Crimea, none even happened
Russia now controls great portion of Ukrainean resources and they are already making money off it.
Who lost? Ukrain.
I mean, it cost nothing to be neutral and avoid being a testing ground between two powers. Even the US has felt the heat of the war. Russia held ground even with all sactions the Biden admin did to cripple Russia economy so she cant fight. The plan was simple: cripple russian economy since military defeat is impossible, cripple the economy so that the citizens will revolt and there will be unrest and unsit Putin and the country will be in serious crises. That will be the end of Russia. But none of these happened. America don tire.

I mean, it cost nothing to be neutral...

Talking nonsense.
So in your “face-me-I-slap-you” mind, you still believe the trash that Putin invaded Ukraine because she wanted to join NATO?

they should shut down all their embassies in Nigeria too
take away all their oil exploiting firms
america does nothing for nigeria

all they do is drill our oil with chevron and the others and declare fake productions figures while selling billions of usd of crude oil offshore without record to dark tankers
if Nigeria is to make progress it has to severe ties with countries like the USA

...and strengthen ties with Niger Republic and Russia or even China. Abi?

You talk like one of those men who squats to pee.

Amayabor1:
Olodo. 😅😅. How did Trump come about the figures of the reciprocal tarrifs?

For example, he said Vietnam charges 90% tarrifs on US goods. 90% o. Ode like you believed him. Do you know what 90% tarrifs mean?. However, the leader of Vietnam came out to say that it is a lie. Vietnam charges an average of 9.6% tarrifs on US imports. He placed Tarrifs on Heard and McDonald Island. A place inhabited only by penguins and seagulls 😅🤣.

He imposed 29% tarrifs on Nolfolk island. A place of about 2000 people. He lied that the island charges 58% on US imports. The Island doesn't even export anything to the US to begin with 😅.
🤣.

You are the one ranting and wailing. 😅😅. Does the US still have trade deficits with China? Yes 😅😅😅. Who has taken the greatest hits since the tarrifs were announced? The US. Who has back-peddled and exempted some goods from China from the tarrifs? The US. Only them dey cry, wail and beat themselves 🤣😅😂

Trade war isn't nice.
The average American works less but earns far more than the average Chinese. This increase in tariff will affect both countries .China will be hit the hardest but you'll never know cos their government will play it down in cover ups. You'll only get to hear the effects on the Americans more because of the free press.

Powerhouse5050:
Trump is making rich mans mistake.

Underestimation of Chinese warfare.

US import of Chinese good worth $439 billion a year

Chinese import of US good worth $139 billion a year

Every taxes imposed by US government on imported goods would automatically be transfered to the consumers in US by the importers.

So automatically and indirectly President Trump is taxing the Americans.

Americans are happy thinking those tariff is on Chinese government without realizing that they are the ones paying for those increment.

Americans are dumber than people think, all those Harvard and Yale school knowledge could be good in theory but in practical they are just dumb at the end and they are too coward to open up their mouth.

The true freedom is in Nigeria and Nigerians are brave to lash out without mincing words.

In their dumbness they could procure a working environment. Oya you and your smart countrymen do the same for your country.

There is more polite way to arrange your song🎶🎶🎶 and you will still pass your message but mentioned Seyi name directly won't go well with father and his son even if you were in their shoe you will do the same thing.

Who the hell is Seyi Tinubu?
What public office is he holding that gives him some constitutional exception or relevance?
Is Nigeria a Kingdom or a Country?


That's how they turned Lagos into a rural city.


Rubbish.

SUNNINO:
They soon join Nigeria Army, transfer to the south and be working with Fulani herdsmen as kidnappers. Mission in progress, we South must unite and fight these blood sucking jihadists now.
