Shoodboi: You talk like Uncle Ruckus in Boondocks.
China and Russia are not limited to the waters you mentioned. The question is "Do they need to project power beyond those waters?" The answer is no. So they don't bother with it.
Get off the high horsemanship and open your eyes to see the world for what it is. You think it's a coincidence that Africa and Asia are home to the poorest countries in the world?
I think it might be time to start separating Asia from Africa when it comes to economic development. Asia countries be as it may be are making progress with their development. For Africa the simple answer is bad government. These are based on each country's internal political structures. The people in Africa are getting exactly the government they voted for without any external interference. Take Nigeria as a test case, the country has been doing the same thing since 1960 with diminishing returns but it still hasn't occurred to them to change course. Are you gonna blame that on the West?
You don't even need to scam people before you become the president...
We no dey give shishi dey scam nigerians for abroad...Too bad oooo
Whatever amount Tinubu is paying you to be his online troll partner you are grossly been underpaid. Though 85% of the things you are putting out are garbage.
Armaggedon: I hope the gas you're bragging about is the one in your Papa compound and not the one in Igboland. Anybody entering any part of Igbo land for gas that he doesn't know how it got there will not live to tell the story.
The USA will make you people an Offer you can not refuse.
Shoodboi: Lol. Your comments are just plain ridiculous. You keep repeating US navy as if they're God's right wing men. Relax man. Slavery ended long ago.
What does slavery gotta do with what is obvious to an intelligent human being? The is only one superpower country in the world that can project Navy power on all seas of the world. China is limited to the China Sea and the Russians are limited to the Arctic. Atlantic, Mediterranean, Pacific, or the Middle East waters US Navy is there. Correction God flies Wingman for US Navy Pilots.
fxexperts: I didn't say the project is Nigerians. I know it is been funded by European companies. After all The Nigerian government was okay with the gas been flared all these years, it is only when the Europeans had interest in it and wanted to get off Russian gas they decided to fund it. it is left for our government to demand a fair deal from the European companies, but i am sure the made a horrible deal as a lot of us do not know what is in it for our country. And that is mostly because we do not hold our so called accountable, they are supposes to inform us about the full details of the deal they are signing with these foreign companies. I remember recently when some few Nigerians raised concern about the Chinese loan for infrastructure some time ago, as to how the Chinese government will waive our sovereignty a seize any of our asset in case we default on the loan payment, the government through the minister ameachi came forward to divert our attention and never gave details about the deal whether it is true or false and we all got distracted and forgot about the main issue then, until we later found at we are trapped when these set of evil leader are no longer around, then our eyes will become clear.
Rest assured whatever deal is struck will need the State Department's sign-off. With that sign off comes congress oversight. Nigeria's interest will be protected and amicable compensation will be given. If not the print press will expose the whole thing. One thing most big Companies try to avoid is picking a fight with people that buy ink by the barrels.
maasoap: I like people who know what they are saying.
Side note: America and Europe shouldn't have pushed Russia to the wall, they didn't believe that Putin had liver.
Here is the truth America knows that China with all the noise they are making will never invade Taiwan. Why !!! because China is an export dependent country. America thought the same about Russia. When Russia warned that accepting Ukraine into NATO is a red line that mustn't be crossed we thought they were just making noise. Well it turned out they weren't the problem now is finding a face-saving way out of this mess. US was already pivoting towards Asia as the next conflict area. We need to find a way to end this conflict fast. I am looking toward the G27 meeting in Malaysia in October Biden Putin and Xi will be attending I expect something to happen. Ukraine will be thrown under the bus. Russia will be allowed to keep some territories they have conquered and some pittance of territory will be given back to Ukraine. Assurance will then be given to Russia not to allow Ukraine into NATO, also included will be not to station nuclear weapons in Finland and Sweden even if they are in NATO. Ukraine is small potato in the grand scheme of things JAPAN is main straw.
fxexperts: That Project was initiated in the year 2020 and Russia invaded Ukraine in year 2022. It is no more plans. the project has already started since last year. I have friends working on that project and it is near completion. And why do must it be the west that have to provide navy to secure our own project. it get to tell you a lot, that African or Nigerians are just jokers with no plan.
.
By the way who said the project is Nigerians? Funding is being provided by companies in other countries along with logistics and you turn around and said it is your project. Partner, when you buy a house and still pay the mortgage on the house, that house is not yet yours, That is why the lender makes sure you have insurance on the house so as to protect their investment. The same thing with huge investments like this that costs Billions. I got news for you if ever is a civil war in Nigeria you can bet your last dollar that the US will deploy Navy ships to Nigeria to make sure nothing ever happens to the flow of Crude oil. You can kill each other for all they care but that oil must continue to flow.

You think Russia give a Bleep about your goddamn continent.
The Algerian part I am aware started a while back. Extending it into Nigeria all the way to the South is the one I am really discussing. If the project is ever finished US will put the pipelines under the National Security umbrella so as to include the security in the Military budget and qualify for yearly Appropriation by Congress
Lanrelagboi: This thread is in diaries because it is a work in progress and I don't want distractions. Sorry mods
Partner you were on a roll until I got to the ENRON part. Everything about ENRON is corruption on steroid, and for that one reason alone Tinubu should never be allowed to be the President of Nigeria
Czario: Russia will use them as a testing ground to showcase their nuclear might... I pray it doesn't happen honestly.
Sweden and Finland are very close to being part of NATO. If Russia dare attack them article 5 of NATO chapter will be automatically invoked and that will be the end of this world as we all know it. The whole world will be vaporized let that sink in partner.
gidjah: my dear Broher,I have been thinking of this ever since the War started and disruptions on gas supplies cane in fronnRussia ends...HIW WOULD IN T HAVE BEEN GKIRIIUS and an opportunity to get of financial and economical rubbkes if Nigeria or any other African nation can fill in the gap and stand well..but I really must be foolng my self here ,our leaders do not have the wherewithal to attempt this,personal ambition and corruption at the highest place won't allow Them think straight .
Nigeria has the 9th largest natural Gas Reserves in the world. Some consortium of US energy companies are already planning how to construct 4000 kilometers pipelines from Nigeria all the way to link up with Algeria's current pipelines going into Spain. I read that in Wall Street article. The main hold up appears to be political stabilities in some countries. Right now the Fifth fleet is based in Qatar and UAE, a similar Navy presence will have to be developed to guide against saboteurs in some African Country.
Why !!!! Russia is nothing but a Gas Station in the Arctic masquerading as a Country. Russia and Nigeria are both similar. They both derive over 85% of their budget funding from Hydrocarbon.
Zimzy: For those who have been saying Europe cannot survive without Russian gas, the gas is presently not flowing from Russia, let us watch and see how Europe will die or crash because of the stop of Russian gas. No single nation has absolute monopoly of anything. Europe must have planned for this a long time ago even before the war in Ukraine.
All they have to do is build infrastructure to convert LNG to gas. Qatar, Russia, Venezuela, and Nigeria all have proven LNG reserves. Don't forget Norway is also close by. Germany, France, and Spain will be fine. They can bring LNG from Norway into Hamburg and refine it into gas.
lhordspy: i usually take my time to look carefully into this man desperation. I see it's all lie and made up fables to fool the general public. But am not surprise, this specific people from this same region have an history in fooling themselves. I mean look at the level of poverty, bad governance, illiteracy that reeks in the south-east region, you dont need to wonder far why it is so easy to deceive the ipobians with little lies and fables. I mean, ojukwu did it. He deceived over two millions of them into early grave. Kanu also did it, he told his gullible fellows that buhari is dead. It takes a sensless set of individual to actually believe such.. And they all swallow the hook, lie and sinker of the fugitive before he was eventually nab by our able secret service... Peter is a good man, but his tribesmen are the worst set of human to ever live on this planet earth. I will never vote for hate, religious hypocrite, and a tribal bigot Come 2023, we will all put you all to your place.
Modified: Someone just remind me of Nwazurike, the man who sold fake Biafra passport to the ever gullible people.
Not forgetting, Fraudster Ikpeazu, it takes only common kerosene to deceive thousand of people..
The list is endless, if i start today, i wouldnt finish till next year. You guys are so daft, yoy are so prone to fraudsters and scam artiste taken advantage left , right and centre.
Are you sure you are being objective in all your objections to Obi? What I deducted from the whole article about the man is someone that's humble. Before you start type casting me as someone from the South East region, Partner I am not. You need to broaden your environment and get away from the tribalistic point of view. This is 2022, not 1966. This Yoruba man is for Obi because so far he's the only person that has presented his agendas for the Country. Power Generation that is it.
TONYE001: Too much hate and curses in one comment. We gather to chant anti-racism songs but we are horribly tribalistic. No wonder we continue to get things wrongly, from governance to every other thing.
I'm beginning to doubt that our generation will see the Nigeria of our dreams.
DOUBT !!!!! partner you are too optimistic I need to help you out, even GOD no longer listens to any prayer emanating from that Country called Nigeria. The evidence I will give you. Ever since independence people in that country have been praying for a better country and since 1960 the opposite has been happening. I will take 1960 Nigeria over what we have now. Nigeria is a cursed country I truly believe that.
He should be made to pay for both his flight and that of the EFCC operatives.
I don't know on what charges or allegations he was picked up but I can swear with my life, that guy Oluomo or whatever his name is, is a corrupt, pilfering, thieving, two-faced, mother-"F"ing public officer with a case to answer before the law!!!
How this man gets elected is still a mystery to me. Not only elected but the speaker of the house Wow !!!! Keep telling yaa Nigeria is getting the leadership it deserved.
fasho01: This is no longer news. I'm not really excited about the signing but I remain optimistic nonetheless. GGMU
Trust me on this one As a Chelsea fan I wanted him all along. He is that good. You won't regret this signing. Unlike Tuchel who is buying defenders forgetting that scoring goals wins you matches. Chelsea cant score goals because their midfielders with exception of Kante are trash
GoooodHardDick: Stop the tribal war on nairaland, let Love lead
However, Lemme reinstate my stands on this coming election.
I stand fully gidigba with PETER OBI.
He is the best man for the job.
C'mon man don't get carried away. I support Obi too merely because he is the lesser evil of the bad ones when compared to the alternatives. It's just a shame that a country as diverse as Nigeria is presented to pick from these lots. " I CAN SHIT BETTER PRESIDENT"
Tunjibalogun: I'm doing well in Nigeria and a professional. I can't relocate to wash dead corpse upon sleepless nights like your useless self is currently suffering in abroad. Lmao. Only poor irrelevant Nigerians like u relocate, that's the truth. Lol
Irrelevant Nigerians !!!! Partner, sometimes we use adjectives without thinking it through. Kindly explain to me what made someone irrelevant just because that person exercises their God-given right in their pursuit of happiness wherever they can find it. I left Nigeria when I was 19. Today, after having obtained my Undergraduate degree and master from the University of Michigan in Engineering and Information Technology. I work from my own fully paid-for house here in South Florida designing and writing web-based B2B applications for fortune 50 companies. I live with my wife, and our two sons have graduated from college and living on their own. Kindly tell me how am I an irrelevant Nigerian. By the way, I am a Yoruba man just like you.
ASAPFERG1: what did igbos do to asians that make them to always throw them in their jails, or execute them?
Asians don't set out hating Igbos. What did Yorubas do to Asians that makes them throw them in jail or execute them? Or are you going to tell me there are no Yorubas in jail in Asian countries. Partner people like you are the reason that country is as messed up as it is now. I am a Yoruba man just like you I treat people as individual.
I really can't blame you ooo, I swear. I totally agree with you.
Question. what exactly has the Igbos ever done to you for you to hate the Igbos I am just curious. Before jumping up and down just be aware that I am not an Igbo. In fact I am a Yoruba man just like you.
OK partner kindly tells us how this transaction should have occurred. Does she get paid after service or before service? In my opinion this is like getting on a toll-road u gonna pay to get on and dammit you also pay when you get off
okeysoninv: don't trust Britain , they are going to betray allied forces. at the end Russia will nuke Britain. London will enter into the sea. bookmark this.
Are you sure Russian nukes can reach London? Same Russia with bad precision bombs along with badly designed tanks. People used to think they were the 2nd most powerful country militarily but this Ukraine has really exposed them that the emperor ain't got no cloth.
First sign there is a war will be when a nuclear bomb goes off in space orbit that will disable all electrical grids in the world this is needed to cut off all communications including social media.
