Mattswaggz: Long story.....Russia remains strong as at now.
The small and miniscule Ukraine had become a bone in the throat of Russia. And it's hurting so very Bad. This special military operation was supposed to be Cremia 2.0 but it ended up as a serious disaster for Russia.
AngelahFlo: Hello Guys, For our Retro walk I wanna take those of us Gen X into a time in our childhood when innocence was real and true. Kingsway Stores which was the first indegenous departmental stores that first opened to the public in 1948 alongside Leventis Stores. It was unique in every way by bringing a feel of London's West End to Nigeria.
At the store you can buy imported items at affordable prices and there're so many fond memories of that era. My fondest memories was of my dad coming home with goodies for us like toy cars and water balls. It was the Shop rite and Ebeano Stores of the time.
What led to its decline was the oil price of the mid 80s and the SAP sanction of '86 which led to a ban on imported goods. It's really a sad story filled with nostalgia. Let the images below speak for themselves and you'll see Future CO of Silverbird empire as a 7 year old kid on the lap of Santa Claus in Kingsway Store.
Then, it was Uncle Benz Rice that was king. It doesn't have a single stone
Rubber toy guns for boys and plastic baby dolls for girls.
WriterrNg: Who dash U.S 2nm chip? Who told you it's theirs?
I'm not surprised you think it's theirs, like every other thing, the US likes to claim other people's inventions.
2nm chips are produced by ASML of Netherlands and TSMC of Taiwan.
The US is just the financiers. They don't have the technical knowledge or machines to build it. Trump once threatened Taiwan to relocate the chip building machines to the US but they rejected it.
At least Russia is making theirs all by themselves, without external input.
All US aircrafts are jointly manufactured with at least a dozen countries, even F-35's and F-22.
The US is nothing without its allies. They couldn't even invade the poorest country in the world Afghanistan without all NATO members joining them. Shame!!
As for Sumy. The Russians never sent an invasion force to Sumy, just a few reconnaissance units to help direct airstrikes and then they left.
Sumy is a really small territory, if Russia really wants it, they'll get it. It's not even as fortified as Bakhmut.
Is Afghanistan more powerful than Ukraine? Yet if took the US 20 years to lose and retreat from it. Even though they went in with nearly the whole world.
As I know, there are four countries with 2nm capabilities Netherlands, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan with USA So, tell me, 1. What is the best in nm chip that USA can produce? 2. What is the best in nm chip that Russia can produce?
You forget that Allies are assets just as money is assets. This is why Russia has to rush to China and North Korea to avoid the looming embarrassment coming to them from Ukraine.
Russia invaded the sumy region claiming to have a buffer but they are being disgracefully pushed out by the small miniscule Ukraine! What happened?
Speaking of Afghanistan: You seem to forget that the almighty Russian army was defeated by this same Afghanistan when they invaded the country between 1979 to 1989!? I heard that the casualty was staggering! LOL!
Sumy region is a Ukrainian region. Russia has never and does not plan to occupy it. They just bomb it once in a while being that Ukranian troops who cross into the border regions retreat to Sumy after their adventures.
Russia has as many aircrafts as the US. The 2 most produced helicopters in the world are Russian.
A huge portion of US aircrafts are made by others, unlike Russia that produces theirs. Many US aircrafts are joint manufactured with France, UK, Netherlands and several other EU countries, so they do not 100% belong to the US.
Majority of commercial, private and cargo aircrafts parked in US airports belong to foreign airlines. Or do you wanna start counting Qatar Airlines airplanes parked in US airports as US airplanes?
From commercial planes to cargo planes to private planes of private foreign individuals.
Wasn't the Sumi region not part of the so-called Russian buffer region? Just admit that the small miniscule Ukraine was able to push out the almighty Russia from the Sumi region.
Can you then explain how Russia has as many AIRFRAMES as US and yet they do not have air superiority over Ukraine!? Ukraine must be using some form of Juju on Russian airforce! . It seems you overestimate Russian production and manufacturing capabilities. Are you aware that most of the the navigation electronics for ordinary Saheed Drones are imported from China? Russia in 2025 mostly produced at 65nm and 90nm semiconductor chip nodes whereas US, South Korea and Taiwan are producing at 2nm. Why don't you just confirm by your self. The gap is staggering.
I am still amazed at Ukraine! Still standing after 3 years of full scale war again the full force of Russian military power!?
Is it true that the Ukrainian flamingo and other drones is wrecking havoc almost daily on Russian oil facilities?
Kaliningrad: 🇺🇸 US aircrafts are flying coffins ✈ ⚰
The US has crashed more aircrafts this year than Russia that is fighting in a war has in 3 years.
Their problems started the day they stopped buying 🇷🇺 Russian quality titanium, special alloys and aircraft parts.
Now they're stuck with poor quality ones from other countries.
This is why Donald Trump says he wants to resume doing business with Russia very quickly. They've lost alot.
Common sense should tell you that the one who has 500,000 airframes will experience more crashes than the one who has 300 airframes that Ukraine has helped reduce to less than 100.
Sorry.
I Heard that Ukraine has entered Sumi region again! How did it happen?
What an audacity! A parallel government of its own within Nigeria
“To you the DPO of Danmusa LGA, if you want these our peace talks to yield anything tangible, then every favour we seek should be considered and done for us and from your end,” he added.
“Anything you request from us (bandits) we see to it that it is done. This is just the truth of the matter.
Bandits We need from the FG $10 million dollars by tomorrow morning?
FG We need from the Bandits$10million dollars by tomorrow morning?
Let's see who this negotiation pays! This is what happens when to have a political position, all you need is a certificate of attendance of secondary school
Barzinime: Why didn’t the US overrun all the countries they have been to the last 2decades? Same way western media propagate boko haram outside the country you will think Nigeria is in anarchy.
Was US fighting an insurgency or a nation. Was US capturing territories as their objective?
lionshare: You mean the NUC is dictating how much a private institution is to pay their employees? I can understand setting minimum benchmarks, but not a fixed rate. The reason I asked the initial question is: if private university lecturers are better paid, then that gives public lecturers the option of choosing a public university for better pay. Over time, the government will be forced to improve remuneration in order to retain and attract manpower, which is a win-win for all parties.
However, if private lecturers are not exactly well compensated, then the entire tertiary education system — including private institutions — is nothing more than an organized subsidy, perpetually waiting for government handouts. This means quality will always be lacking.
It is called REGULATION!
The private Universities can pay staff higher salaries but certainly not lower.
Barzinime: You were priviledge to this statistics because you were at the war front? Let foreign media keep fooling you.
If we believe this monthly statistics from Russia with respect to exchanges, .... And Russia has not been able to overrun Ukraine!? The Russian Generals must be thoroughly incompetent
honesttalk21: You now say the prophet pbuh, an unlettered person can acquire knowledge of the early scripture to such level merely by being near few Jews and Christians? How many were they and what was their primary engagement in Mecca?
APCNig: When a so called Christian begins to call Jehovah Witnesses names, then you know that the so called Christian and his like minds are definitely on hard drugs
The fact that a person called himself a JW doesn't automatically make Christ Jesus his Lord and Saviour.
