Politics / Re: Reno Is Just A Clout Chaser On The Issue Of Ukraine & Russia by slimghost(m): 5:30pm On Mar 16, 2022 |
GeorgesDiary: This is not the typical kind of piece that grace my blog but for posterity, I want it to be clear that evil is evil, no matter who is supporting it. My non-Nigerian readers may not be very conversant with the flow of this writing because I may be citing events or names you may not be familiar with. But of course, you must have come across Biafra, but perhaps, not Mr Reno Omokri, a former aide to the former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan whose presidency was short-lived by Muhamadu Buhari's emergence as Nigeria's president.
Reno Omokri claims that during the Nigerian Civil war, no one prayed for Biafra and as a result, he is oppugning the relevance of Nigerians praying for Ukraine. He also disparaged the Federal Government for standing with the West and Ukraine in condemning Russia's full-scale invasion of a sovereign independent nation.
One would expect someone as exposed and educated as Reno (as he claims) to know, do and say better about the current situation in Ukraine. He strides himself like a fountain of knowledge. He is living the life, that’s cool but he is also living the lie, that’s strange.
Reno’s method is simple but it works all the time. As long as he tickles the chord of some section of Nigerians where it pleases them, they will hail him, call him wiser than Solomon and share his post. Why am I concerned? I am only concerned about the misinformation that flies around as a result.
Reno understands the gullibility of Nigerians who mostly do not read but lean on what is convenient. So everything he says will go well as long as his premeditated propaganda to draw traffic to himself and his YouTube channel is masked with eloquence and some touch of authority. This is why Reno can authoritatively claim to know the history of every ethnic group in Nigeria more than the people themselves and the ignorant ones agree.
Agreed, the Nigerian Civil war was fierce, brutal and had much more casualties. No one would expect the Russia-Ukraine war to last 3 years as the Biafra war did but there is legitimate global interest. Ukraine is a sovereign independent country that has the right to determine its future and its alliance. One may argue that it is like Biafra, a secessionist but While Nigeria didn’t recognize Biafra’s independence, Russia recognized Ukraine’s independence in 1991.
Does he mean that France, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Rhodesia, South Africa and Vatican City were nobody? They provided support and assistance to Biafra and that was huge for a secessionist nation that wasn't being supported by the superpowers. Nigeria too had her own support which I wouldn't want to list out.
Does he also mean that Gabon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Tanzania, and Zambia that gave Biafra official recognition are nobody? Biafra also received aid and support from non-state actors like Joint Church Aid, foreign mercenaries, Holy Ghost Fathers of Ireland, and under their direction Caritas International, and U.S. Catholic Relief Services. Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors withut borders) also originated in response to the suffering.
I am not sure you read that well. Doctors Without Borders was formed as a result of the Biafran War and has continued to operate to this day. And after all of these sacrifices by people especially in the Western world, Mr Reno would boldly assert that people did nothing about the Biafran war.
Is Bruce Mayrock a nobody? The young student of Colombia University set himself ablaze in protest against Nigeria for the massacre of Biafrans and he died afterwards. Reno knows all of this but chose to turn history upside down.
Ukraine has more “legitimacy” as a sovereign nation than Biafra. This is never in any way to undermine the Biafran struggle and what people went through during the war.
After the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine was among several other countries that chose to be independent. Ukraine inherited thousands of nuclear weapons from the former Soviet Union but destroyed its nuclear weapons after Russia agreed that they weren’t going to interfere or invade Ukraine. Russia guaranteed Ukraine of its safety.
You folks claim to know what you are talking about but have you heard of the Budapest Memorandum? On December 5, 1994, the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Britain and the United States signed a memorandum to provide Ukraine with security assurances in connection with its accession to the NPT as a non-nuclear weapon state. Go online and read about this yourself. Ukraine is not a troublesome state even though it was the second most powerful country in the Soviet Union and the sole reason why there is no hope for the formation of the USSR after the majority of them opted for independence.
Let’s dwell on the Budapest Memorandum a bit longer. It contains the following:
The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.
Russia failed in its commitment here, they betrayed Ukraine after getting Ukraine to destroy its thousands of nuclear warheads. Was Russia respecting the independence, sovereignty and existing borders of Ukraine? The answer is NO! And people pretend like this is not happening? And people like Reno, Jihadists, IPOB terrorists and other pathetic adherents of Russian propaganda believes nothing is wrong with Russia’s failure to keep up with its promise?
Let’s see the second one
The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.
Will Russia say it was defending itself when it annexed Crimea? By annexing Crimea, they already breached the first agreement. Russia is the one invading Ukraine. They may claim they are defending themselves against NATO. How? Why not fight NATO and leave Ukraine alone. Of course, NATO has shown no aggression towards Russia. Do you see why Russia is deserving of all the sanctions and more?
For more on the Budapest Memorandum, read on Memorandum on Security Assurances in Connection with Ukraine’s Accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
After Russia got Ukraine to destroy its nuclear weapons out of trust and yet invaded it, how do you expect Ukraine not to seek NATO membership? How else do you want Ukraine to protect its sovereignty against an overrated superpower cum bully like Russia? Unfortunately, the same evil we applaud Russia for is the same evil we fight against coming towards us.
I don’t believe in Karma, yet, I believe that posterity will not be kind to those who are evil and those who support evil no matter who is involved in that evil.
My name is George Onyedikachukwu Nnadozie, I stand for peace and I stand with Ukraine as they pass through this heavy phase where there strength and unity is put to a great test.
Whoever wrote this garbage is stunningly ignorant on this issue. He should take his research timeline as back 1990. |

Obviously you didn't peruse my earlier comments before hastily reacting! All companies have different ethics for their working environment, hence no matter your opinion about wrist and ankle chain,when you step into a company that has zero tolerance for such attires,you will do well to conform to such authority if you have a desire to work there!
Like I said ab initio,every company with their different policies to ensure decorum and proper behaviour depending on the kind of clients the employee will be interacting with!
If you have issues with those rules,you can go to another company where such attires are permissible or better still,you can start your own company & maybe hire employees that dress anyhow! Its that simple! You wrote a lot without making sense. Keep it simple and concise. I have worked in over 4 top tier banks in Nigeria and non prohibits ankle chains. Now tell me which other sector dresses more corporate than bankers?. If the particular company is against ankle chains, the professional thing to do is give her the handbook or ethic books that contains their dress code. As long as she is not yet your staff, it is moronic to lose a talent because of ankle chain. I asked you a simple question, what is wrong with an ankle chain and how is it different from wrist chains?. You people need a lot of exposure in life. 1 Like |

Order and decorum must first be adhered to before competence is even considered! You may be the best in your field of study but if your attitude or dressing leaves much to be desired, it can slow down the progress of any organisation esp if the said person is a marketer representing a company and trying to sell a product or service to a prospective client! Every company possess set of rules for prospective employees.....what is permissible in Company A will not be allowed in company B...so the best thing to do is to dress accordingly! A lady with a top having a cleavage or a guy placing his trouser below his waist might sit well or seem appropriate with you but might be a turnoff for other customers! everyone is not like you! How you dress is how you will be addressed! Leave the vacuous epistle and answer the simple question. How is ankle chain indecent? And how is it different from the wrist chains men wear?. |

Kingsnairaland: Do you know so many people have died in Ukraine but the west is so evil they won't admit it because they Hate Russia...
The objective of this operation was never about Kiev. The pressure on Kiev is to force a political concession from the Ukrainian government with regards to Crimea and the Donbass.
The real objectives in no particular order seem to be
1. Liberation of the Donbass up their original borders 2. Demilitarization and Degrading of Ukraine's military capabilities. 3. Relieving the Siege of Crimea - through unblocking of the canals and linking it to the Dnieper river. That's why they took Kherson city. 4. Creating a land bridge from Crimea through Donbass all the way to Rostov in Russia. This is why conquering Mariupol is key. 5. Extending the land bridge westwards from Crimea to Odessa by conquering Mykolaiv, which was a major shipyard in Soviet times. Doing this will effectively deprive Ukraine from access to the sea and make it a landlocked country. 6. Destroy the Azov Battalion in Donbass. They are all now in Mariupol. Those in Volnovakha have been killed or surrendered. 7. Capture all Nuclear powerplants in Ukraine - to prevent Ukraine from having access to materials to create weapons.
All of the above objectives are largely being achieved albeit slowly due to resistance.
The attacks on Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv and other cities in the North are to tie down Ukrainian forces and prevent them from coming to the South.
Young Africans who have failed to learn African history will never know that Russia’s Putin, here pictured alongside Zimbabwe and Mozambique’s freedom fighters Emmerson Mnangagwa and Samora Machel respectively, was giving African rebel leaders liberation strategies against their colonial aggressors.
Putin was on the ground in Africa for four good years, helping our fathers fight against colonialism and external aggressions from the Western power you now passionately love.
Today, your CNN is brainwashing you to describe your liberators as dictators. You do not know that you are now a free African, thanks to Putin, Castro, and a few others You know your history man. I wish other Africans are like this and not products of constant brainwashing from the west. 1 Like |
