Caseless: This really took them unaware. The Americans didn't know how to even react. The congress had to convene when mate 60 came with a 5G.
Lithography providers in Netherlands and Taiwan were hit because they want to please america. The american chipmakers do not have a bigger buyer than china, now they're struggling.
And when you add China's industrial scaling capacity to the equation...
29Ade07: Udonminit. Can u state your source? The major powers can never decouple from one other.Never ever. Hiw much do all major powers make from Africa compared to what they make amidst themselves.
Source? Have you been living on earth or somewhere else?
This report is based on a chapter of my forthcoming book on the relationship between China and Russia. For the US, this is arguably the most important bilateral relationship in the world today. A robust, resilient partnership between Beijing and Moscow has the potential to remake world order. It would usher in an era of international relations based on power and polarity, eroding the role of international law and institutions, and undermining the sovereignty and agency of smaller states. This world order would represent a serious threat to US interests, as currently defined. On the other hand, transactional, “thin” ties between China and Russia allow the US some breathing space. Instead of a revisionist authoritarian alliance, the US would confront two states that represent different types of challenges. In this case, Washington could deal with the acute, militarized threat of Russia in the near term, while remaining postured to confront the “pacing” threat of China—the only potential peer competitor to the US—over the longer term.
At bolded, that's a cue! They have already changed the world order and created a multipolar new world order. The so called Rule Based Order (controlled by the USA) is a thing of the past. This is why Nigeria must immediately engineer a feasible tragedy to decouple from the dollar because de-dollarisation is real, and China and Russia are guaranteeing it. Russia = Military and Energy Resource China = Minerals, Commerce and Industrial Might.
And what are US interests? Yeah, you guessed right, to be in charge of the whole world, barking orders and giving ultimatums.
However, we have been talking about this at Uptownerd Publications even before the beginning of the Ukraine war.
bonechamberlain: The new world order is already taking shape and Nigeria has already been left behind and they are not even aware, it may take 20 years for Nigeria to catch up.
Another uneventful meeting that is going to end with Xi Jinping embarrassing Joe Biden on the biggest stage yet again. President Xi would rather have a 24/7 siesta, but the show must go on.
China has refused any military talks between the two countries because USA just have nothing to say than give orders and ultimatum even as they know that it is meaningless.
With Huawei breaking the chip barrier for the Chinese government, give it 3-6years and China will confidently take a hit to completely decouple from the USA and be the centre piece of its Belt and Road initiative. With Russia's energy and military might, the multipolar new world order will sweep across the global south.
I just hope Nigerians would have taken back their country from the thief's by then. It would be very sad for a new world order to emerge and as usual, Nigerians will be left behind.
The Greatest of all time, Lionel Messi has spoken words of encouragement to fellow Ballon d’Or finalists, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. According to the FIFA world cup 2022 winner and 8th time Ballon d’Or winner, the Swedish and French strikers will surely win the prestigious award in the near future if they continue with their form.
✨ Messi: “Haaland and Mbappé will win the Ballon d’Or one day”.
“Erling deserved it very much too, he has won Premier League, Champions League while being the top scorer of everything. This award could have been yours today too…”.
Cristiano Ronaldo has received a total of 19 consecutive Ballon d'Or nominations in his career and found his way onto the shortlist every single year from the age of 19 through to 37. However, his total number of wins is now three behind that of his long-time rival, the Greatest of all time, Lionel Messi.
Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Al Nassr to play in the Saudi Pro League just weeks after his Portugal side were knocked out of the Qatar World Cup. He was, however, still eligible for the 2023 prize because he had played some matches for Manchester United early in 2022/23. That meant he had been playing club football from the beginning of the assessment period (i.e. the start of the club season in Europe), so journalists voting would have had performances on which to judge him.
According to American geopolitical influencer Jackson Hinkle, China has removed Israel from its online maps. This comes amidst high tensions between Israel and Hamas (Palestine).
Nigerian record label Mavin Records is seeking investment or outright sale as funds dip, sources close to Don Jazzy revealed.
Led by Don Jazzy, the rising label is looking to build on the global success it's had with Rema and Ayra Starr through foreign investment. In the alternative, Mavin Records supremo, Don Jazzy plans to sell the music empire to a top American management agency or Universal Music Group (UMG).
Reminderz: I doubt... You should be able to recognise AI developed texts from the way the grammar is structured.. it's actually very good but not professional... well, the goal is to sell the products, as long as it sells, who gives a fvck about the English or the way it was said...? nice one.
Well, they still have option of appeal to Supreme Court. The judgment sounded very defensive, and the Supreme Court needs to definitively tell Nigerians (and indeed the whole world) the status of Abuja.
Indian government causes global uproar as Prime Minister Modi replaces "India" with the Sanskrit word "Bharat" in dinner invitations sent to guests attending this week’s G-20 summit.
On the other hand, this could be a ploy to direct global attention to the G-20 summit following the massive successes recorded by BRICS. Also, with both Russia and China declining interest in the summit, this is a good way to divert attention.

In recent times, concerns have been raised about the potential for a military confrontation between Nigeria and Russia.
Geopolitical dynamics can evolve rapidly, warranting a closer examination of the situation. This article delves into the complexities surrounding the issue and explores the key factors that might influence Nigeria's path in its relations with Russia going forward.
Nigeria, a nation facing numerous security challenges, has been grappling with insurgencies, most notably Boko Haram, ISWAP, militants and Unknown gunmen in the East. As the situation unfolds, the Nigerian Army's next steps could play a crucial role in shaping the country's security landscape.
Rumors of the possibility of Niger military government inviting the Wagner Group, a private military that has now been morphed and assimilated into the Russian military complex have raised eyebrows in the international community. The implications of such a move would be significant, considering Wagner's history in conflict zones.
One cannot overlook the pressing issue of Nigeria's military capacity. A potential alliance of Niger Coup plotters with Wagner may further strain an already overstretched military, especially when facing insurgencies and banditry within its borders. Nigeria must carefully assess the risks and benefits of its involvement with the Niger situation, given the potential consequences on its military readiness and overall security.
Russia, widely recognized for its formidable military capabilities and advanced weaponry, is often seen as a dominant player in global affairs. Russia is currently at war with 34 countries (NATO) in its Special Military Operations in Ukraine. So, whatever conflict that results in Nigeria confrontation with Russia is not going to end anytime soon.
However, any move by Russia to engage militarily with Nigeria could trigger severe geopolitical ramifications. Such an escalation might alter the dynamics of regional politics and have ripple effects on international relations, impacting both Russia and Nigeria's standing on the global stage. With the issue of IPOB (Indigenous Peoples of Biafra) and their quest for a referendum, Nigeria finds itself riddled with mines that could destroy the very fabric of the nation's supreme sovereignty over component regions.
A wider look at the trajectory of military coup d'etat over the past two years in West Africa seem to have taken a predictable pattern. Believing that the next coup d'etat in Africa will not come from Nigeria at this point in time may be living in a fool's paradise.
The involvement of other nations further complicates the situation. The United States and France have strategic interests in the West African region and maintain diplomatic ties with Nigeria. Their influence through regional organizations like ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) adds another layer of complexity to the potential developments in the region. Nigeria's choices in handling its security concerns must be carefully considered in light of these international relationships.
Amidst this complex web of politics and military dynamics, Nigeria has expressed an interest in joining BRICS, a group comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. This move could open doors for economic cooperation and development, but it also raises questions about the implications of aligning more closely with Russia, especially when regional tensions are at play.
In search of a resolution to its security challenges, Nigeria may consider working indirectly through the African Union (AU). The AU's framework fosters peace, security, and stability on the African continent, providing a platform for multilateral cooperation and conflict resolution.
Recent developments in West Africa and the global South warrant vigilant observation. Nigeria's security challenges and pursuit of regional and international relationships all have potential ramifications on the country's future. As the geopolitical landscape evolves, Nigeria must approach its foreign policy decisions with careful consideration, aiming for stability and peace in the region.
While military confrontation is not the only possible outcome, finding diplomatic solutions through international cooperation may offer a path towards a more secure and prosperous future for Nigeria and the entire West African region.
In the ever-changing geopolitical landscape, the Niger junta's embrace of Russia adds a new twist to the international power play. As Russia's involvement deepens, it's not far-fetched to imagine them nudging the junta to expel the US airforce from the country. The potential consequences of such an action are both intriguing and worrisome.
Picture this: the US, left with the bitter taste of humiliation or viewing it as a strategic setback, might exit the scene, leaving the door open for a fierce proxy war to ensue. And where would this battleground be? None other than Niger itself, a nation that could soon find itself embroiled in an international tug-of-war for influence and control.
Now, let's turn our attention to Nigeria, which shares a border with Niger. Could it handle the pressure of a war unfolding on its doorstep, with an influx of heavy arms complicating the already delicate situation? History warns us of the repercussions of far-away conflicts like the one in Libya, which inadvertently strengthened terrorist groups in Nigeria's northern regions, posing a severe challenge to the government's authority.
Imagine Nigeria caught in the crossfire of not just one, but two military superpower proxy wars. This scenario paints a vivid picture of the immense pressure and strain the nation would endure. To navigate such treacherous waters, Nigeria would have to tread carefully, employing skillful diplomacy and regional cooperation to safeguard its own stability and interests.
But it doesn't end there. These international conflicts could intertwine with Nigeria's internal challenges, like the long-standing Biafran separatism movement. Picture a web of complexities, as external powers vie for influence within Nigeria, potentially exacerbating its own internal crisis.
In this riveting and thought-provoking saga, the stakes are high, and the outcomes uncertain. The stage is set for a gripping geopolitical drama with potential consequences echoing far beyond the borders of Niger and Nigeria. The key to survival and prosperity lies in deft navigation and astute decision-making – an intricate dance between diplomacy, strategic partnerships, and safeguarding national unity. Only time will reveal the outcome of this gripping narrative.
