Putin is a narcissist, but certainly not as corrupt as Zelensky. However, the issue on ground has nothing to do with corruption but the West's invasion of Russia. If you think this war is about Ukraine and Russia, think again.

Zelensky is only being paid to act. It's a power tussle of the superpowers USA, Germany, Russia, and China. Nothing is as it seems, the US playing Ukraine good Russia bad, is just its usual media war and propaganda.

This is not true, it's just what u want to believe, there's no power tussle to play out here, these countries carry out business deals with Russia, they buy from Russia n sell to Russia. US already won the cold war between, USSR has been disintegrated.

What ever power tussle u think is going on here is only playing in ur head.

Like u said Putin is a narcissist that's why he invaded Ukraine, there's no valid reason for invading Ukraine.

drlateef:
We know far more than you do. Russia already threatened Finland and other countries around it that they will invade them if they allowed NATO in their countries. The reason is simple. America promised not to extend NATO eastwards. America will not allow Mexico to station Russian arms at their border. You need to open your eyes. The situation was well demonstrated by a comedy skit where a husband would not allow his wife to keep a knife near him in bed. We cannot be deceived by the west. Neutrality is better for countries near Russia because American weapons at their border is a threat. America is a threat to Russia any day. And American plan is to dominate everyone with their military and then their culture of homosexuality etc. That's what Russia can never allow. Open your eyes!

Russia has other motives in Ukraine, including taking some oil reserves. Watch how Finland will join NATO nothing will happen.

You don't know anything

drlateef:
Go and listen to speech of Putin regarding NATO being in Ukraine. Putin was lied to several times and many neighbouring nations to Russia were being pulled to NATO. Putin knows this is the last one to join and Russia will be annihilated.

Ogbeni that's another lie jor, where do go guys get ur information.

Finland is not in NATO, Greece is not in NATO.

How can u say Ukraine is the last one to join?

Besides this countries are joining NATO willingly instead of joining force with Russia, this should tell u the kind of country Russia is.

Ur neighbors would rather make friends with people far away than u, it shows u are not friendly or u are a bully.

peggywebbs:
Lol...another conspiracy. Even the west never claimed put in bombed his people. The attacks where caused by militants. There have been many people who were assassinated suspiciously and here you are thinking one man makes that many number of people disappear. Even if Putin is out of the way, it wont stop the west from hating Russia.

You're building your defense on a conspiracy that hasn't even been proved. When there are countless materials on Ukraine's corruption and criminal activities. If one man defending his people is bad, I wonder where your sense of morality is. Like I said, when all these is over, get ready to lick your wounds. The crimes of Ukraine is enough to document in over a hundred books, continue.

Ukraine is corrupt: true
Putin is corrupt: conspiracy

Why should I take u serious when any info u don't like is conspiracy and the one u like is true.

WATCHOVER:
Something is wrong with this country, how can the government allow the press to have such sensitive information?, and why would the press out of stupidity voice this kind of information Out.

Lol, there's nothing sensitive here and this is not a big deal, infact this won't even work. How can a drone detect terrorist when you don't have the database n pictures of terrorist.

Is the drone a magician?

What they are doing here is basically assembling a drone and adding computer vision technology to the camera, linking it to a database were the terrorist picture are saved.

As soon as the drone recognize a terrorist from what is save in it's database, it's alert the authorities their location, this can be use for all wanted criminals as well.

It's an easy technology, a good one tho, if they have the database.

peggywebbs:
I hope when all of this is over, all those who tagged us Putin Urchins will humbly accept defeat. Because at the end, logic will win over your sentiments. If you think Ukraine is coming out winning in all this, you're joking.

Putin is in his right mind, Putin isn't working alone and all of these decisions are backed by Russia. One man is not a country, at the end all of the weapons sent to Ukraine, will still be used for their criminal operations.

If you think Ukraine, is a saint go look up all the stories of the so called hero Zelensky by the western media. Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe and the poorest at that. They are home to human trafficking, organ harvesting, slavery, drugs and all unthinkable criminal activity. It's also home to the Neo-Nazi's the new brand of Nazis. Before Putin's attack, there was an eight year war going on the country, where they committed war crimes. Anyway, keep reading sensational headlines and following herd mentality.

Putin's urchins work with history, reason and reality. We won't shift our ground especially when we know what the outcome of all this will be.

if u know history so well, u will know how Putin got into power by bombing Russia n killing his own citizens then blaming the chenchen and start a war with an innocent country, portraying himself as a hero, this was how Putin became popular in Russia. The journalist that investigated the bombing and found out they were being carried out by Putin got missing n later found dead. Anyone that dares oppose him in Russia go missing or found dead.

Putin has never been in his right mind, Russia with all it's resources is not even richer than Spain, because Putin n his oligarchy has stolen everything. Putin might be the richest man in earth with an estimated worth of $600 billion. This is the kind of tyrant u are defending.

Look at how u are bastardizing a country just to make urself feel good about supporting the wrong of Russia.

If ur claim about Ukraine is right, then Russia might as well come and invade Nigeria.

You can believe what ever propaganda you want to believe, but this war is over this is the worst Russia can do, they are already retreating.

Losers.

drlateef:
Russia is correct to say they don’t want Third World War because if Russia had allowed Ukraine to join NATO, an existential battle to save the soul of Russia from western invasion would have led to NATO fighting alongside Ukraine which will lead to a nuclear war. This early strike on Ukraine is to wake her up and prevent them from joining NATO, thereby preventing 3rd world war.

That is not true nor, NATO don't even have to be in Ukraine to start a war with Russia, besides they are already in other countries that border Russia.

NATO nations do business with Russia, so why would they fight a country that they do business with.

The sanctions imposed on the US for this age-old international terrorism are 0.
Judge for yourself. No politics, just numbers.

Did US invaded those countries with the intension of taking their lands like Russia is doing to Ukraine?

I don't have the details all the invasion u listed here, and I'm definitely not saying US is right for invading all this countries, but it's not like Russia is any better, did Russia not also invade Afghanistan.

I can't even take what u wrote here as facts, because most of wat u listed were not invasion, u can't claim US invaded Libya, were u not aware of the Arab spring?

Most of Libyans wanted Gaddafi out, the man was killing his own citizens, pouring hot water on protesters. The citizens beg NATO to intervene, it Libyans that killed Gaddafi themselves not NATO.

That is not the same as what Russia is doing Ukraine.

Besides how does US wrong deeds give Russia the right to invade Ukraine, if Russia wants to vengeance they should invade US and all NATO countries, not Ukraine.

Autopoly:
The impact of USA on Libya

Ok, so what exactly did u learn about Russia in the NATO and Libya saga?

Because u said the more u learn about Russia, the more u despise US.

Ok let's say u didn't like how US interfered in Libya during the Arab spring, does that justify Russia invading Ukraine.

You clearly are the ignorant one here if u think Russia is right because of US got involved in the Arab spring.

Two wrong doesn't make a right

InoGetJoy:
The more I learn about Russia, the more I despise the hypocrisy of the US and their allies. Most of these people talking against Russia on nairaland do so from a standpoint of ignorance and stark illiteracy

So tell me one thing u learnt about Russia that make you despise US

DoctorOlasDesk:
I know you guys exist for banter and would reduce anyone and anything to empty banters.


One quick question, why has all turn around maintenance operations since two decades not get the complex operational even for an hour. Answer the question

Read my last sentence, "if Nigeria was a serious country"

Nothing works in this country, NNPC, NDDC, This very steel plant and many other govt agencies are just avenue for stealing nothing more.

Look at our refinery for example, they have Carried out TAM on them numerous times but no one is working.

The problem of Nigeria is Nigeria.

This steel plant doesn't need Russia for it's completion, various countries might have different design and all, but they work with thesame principle.

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 know what you wrote is rubbish sha, only layman in the believe you.

There's nothing special about this steel plant that Britain cannot complete.
Even china will complete it.

Schematic diagram can easily be interpreted, technology are similar with little variation across countries.

For example, in Britain 240 volt is the accepted voltage but in the US, 120 volt is.

It doesn't mean an electrician in Britain cannot work in US.

Even a good engineering company in Nigeria should be able to complete that plant if Nigeria was a serious country.

MathewOG:
Do not work for any company where the manager is related to the owner.

You will suffer!

I cannot mention my company

BKayy:
The question is, is it OK to consider Mariupol as part of Ukraine?

The people of the Mariupol, as well as other Donetsk region have asked Ukraine for a referendum to have their independence in peace if Ukraine still insist on being hostile to Russia who they (DPR) share a lot with but the Ukrainian Government have been denying them that right.

A war of Independence was started in 2014 which lasted for years (though guerilla style after failed open warfare). Ukraine succeeded in suppressing them until the Russian invasion.

So you see, Russian invasion is seen by the people of this region as well as Luhansk as a big brother coming to the rescue.

You know that kind of fight that you are being pummelled and with your remaining strength you looked up and saw you elder brother running towards the scene like John Cena.

Stop lying Mariupol never ask for referendum

NigerianAngelo:
Let the Ukranian President just give them Donbass which is made up of ethnic Russians and end all of this.

He is also a war criminal.


Crimea opted to join their motherland in 2014 and the Ukranians are still saying No. No to what exactly?



Besides I have seen videos of Ukranians brutally murdering Russians, or leaving them to die in the cold so they are equally (or more) wicked.
It dawns on me that some of Russia's murders during their retreat might be as a pain for all Ukranians did to them.

10,000 dead soldiers isn't 300 soldiers. That's wicked for people that weren't targeting you (civilians).

Maybe if Russian weren't invading Ukraine, they wouldn't have 10000 dead soldiers today.

Besides Russia soldiers also killed civilians and children.

You can't feel sorry for Russia soldiers and not for Ukrainians.

Remember Russia are the invaders here.

Russia already took Crimea and even Donbass, what are they doing in kyiv

This is Nigeria, anybody can work anywhere.

PastorMIsBack:
We probably don't just hear about them.

Most of the celebrity pastor's, who are online and on TV, are simply showmen. Sow seed to be blessed etc.

The real men of God are not on TV. They do not have a huge following. They are probably in some rural area. I hope the media never find and taint them.

Ogbeni this is cap.

jesusjnr2020:
One major reason is because God cannot commit to the church more than the church commits to Him.

It's the measure one uses that would be used to measure back to him. Mark 4:24

Those in Bible committed everything, more or less, to God, hence God reciprocate the gesture and committed much to them.

But today it's very different as people in the churches, including the leaders, don't commit as much to God as they did in those days, hence God measures back sparingly to them.

God bless.

U don't mean it, so David spying on a bathing married woman, fuçking her, got her pregnant and killed her husband is more committed to god than pastor oyedepo.

olas24u:
Very easy,just continue your propaganda.people that are negotating deals at the back.,even iranian oil they have been buying.

Watin bring Iranian oil for the matter.

I ask a simple question, since u are at the back holding the negotiation meeting with them.
did Russia cut off the oil supply yesterday?

olas24u:
Saddam, Gaddafi, Iran, Venezuela all tried to by pass the dollar ,did they suceed but russia just did that by demanding for rubles for its gas,the value and the demand for rubles went up.if you were a right thinking person ,you will know that the naira will achieve the same fit, if we collect naira for crude oil sales

How far did Germany decide to pay in rubles or did Russia cut of supply as they promise they would today.

Clown

oluwaseyi0:
Why didn't tell us when Russia capture Irpin as a balanced reporting, it was not even reported that the city was bombarded so how did it now lies in ruins


Only God knows how many cities are currently under Putin that we are not been told about

U were probably the one who missed the news, almost 13 cities captured by Russia have been retaken by Ukraine

Rugaria:
Emotional wreck..

Cry me a river

SarkinYarki:
How did Russia allow two chopper to even fly into its territory and carry out such a strike

Omo this is Russia propaganda job. They are trying to justify their actions.

This is clearly a Russia attack on Russia.

kiddkash:
Ukraine has lost $175 billion dollars in assets. they'd need over 47 years to recover

Why did u think Russia &300 billion was frozen.

Rugaria:
It might last for a year or more, if that's what it will take to snuff life out of those iniquitous Nazis. How long did the Americans stay in Iraq and Afghanistan? Decades! This war is still at it's early stage. Slowly but surely, the meddlesome racists in Kiev would be pummeled to submission. Chechnya was smaller than Ukraine but Russia too longer time to finish off the stubborn heads there. Today Chechnya is glittering. Ukraine would be fine, but that's after the chokehold and suffocation..

Clown

GodHatesBigots:
Think before talking. Ukraine confirmed the attack.

Source?

Ukraine has not made any official statement.

Ukraine also denied the explosion at the military barrack.

vanunu:
They gave the contract to Russia because Russia supplied Nigeria a lot of weapons and technical assistance during the Nigerian Biafra civil war, the result was that more than 3million ethnic Igbos were brutally killed by the Nigerian government.

Funny enough, alot of Igbos still support Russia.

BJanta:
That shows you the weakness and the inferiority of Russian science and technology. Russia and China have always all noise and nothing more.

Nah even china would not be this foolish.

NOETHNICITY:
Ukrainian govt is good at propaganda. I'll only believe when I see a corroborative sourceBy the time Russia drops a nuclear bomb there na, only then will you realize that God usually leaves humans to her foolishness most time

How many times will they tell u clown's that Russia cannot use nuclear bomb on Ukraine.

WATCHOVER:
The day those persons who supported Buhari to power, were shouting we want Joe Biden I knew United States was to be captained by people who lack management skill to govern United States. United States should not vote for Biden for second term if they want to continue hold power on the world map

Who wants to hold power in world map?

Illiterate

Where are all the Pan African daddy wanna be.

Is this the west destroying your country, I have not seen a single post on how to setup a think tank on how to resolve this insecurities but once they pay you that toilet paper ruble, you will come here to spit on the west.
If Africa and Africans are dear to you, you would have said something.

Don't mind those clowns

Wizzzzmike:
Lol ur in pain lol ... FYI Ghana has better record in world cup than Nigeria get that in ur head.

I'm not saying they don't, I'm talking of their current squad, a average team will easily Beat this Nigeria team.

This Ghana that Comoros fishermen won in afcon. U can't compare this Ghana squad to their previous.
