I pray those Nigerian students get to safety in Poland, however the response from Nigeria government is a bit too late just like in every other things. If there was a quick response, no Nigerian would have been caught up in Ukraine tight now except those willing want to stay. Something really surprised me here o.....Nigeria consulate office in Ukraine using Yahoo and Gmail as Email.....Wonder shall never end for this country call Nigeria....

I really love your analysis on the disturbing nerve cracking behaviour of Russia Putin against Ukraine. So sad that Ukraine is yet to join the NATO....I believe the Ukrainians are regretting that now especially the amiable President of Ukraine. However, the situation goes, NATO can't do much except to strengthen the Armed forces of Ukraine by providing ammunitions which they started doing now. US has been so wise in avoiding to be dragged into a confrontation with Russia at the battlefield. It will be a disaster for two super power to confront each other. We know that US is better equipped and more Sophisticated in modern weaponry and also have solid Army whom are the best in the world but respect must be given to Russia until extreme provocation by Russia is ditched out to the US. Russia Putin is behaving like Adolf Hitler but has forgotten that those allies that brought down Hitler are still much around and even better equipped to deal with his type. Anyway, I forsee United Nations being dragged into this war within the next few days and if that happens, Russia will be force to cease fire and come on a negotiating table which I believe Putin will be disappointed and return to war again.
All in all, NATO or EU might be the determining help in rescuing Ukraine.
.US can only help inside the NATO or UN....but coming independently to face Russia wouldn't be a good decision which the US knows already.

I see the end of Russia super power coming to an end after this War cos those sanctions are more deadly than the war going on presently. Sanctions doesn't reflect immediately on the country it's against but on a long time basis.... God please help the Ukrainians and put to shame the aggressor idiot call Valdmir Putin of Russia.

justflow1:
For the US and NATO, there's little appetite to engage  Russia directly. Ukraine is not part of NATO. My economic classes thought me that, in regional blocs and treaty; members of the blocs are highly prohibited from directly involving themselves in economic ties with non-members. And I believe same applies in a military treaty scenario.

US, NATO and the Ukrainian allies are currently dealing with the situation smartly; running their cost-benefit analysis religiously. Sanction packages on the Russian economy and technology are enough to persuade putin (maybe not in the short run), and if it doesn't, then, watch out for their defeat thereafter.
Massive sanctions on Russian businesses, banks, HNIs; blockage of access to the world's capital market, payments systems; and cutting edge techs needed to mordernize their military,  space program, and economy are morally enough. Also, sanctions on their ability to transact in USD, Sterlings, Euro and Yen makes the entire sanctions more complicated and devastating for Russia.

To help Ukraine directly in a war footing scenario is to put people and economy at risk. As per economy, the U.S of A is around 14 times bigger than Russia. Russia would only struggle to trail smaller countries like the UK. Hence, a direct war footing approach should be the last resort for the U.S

I mean, is there a country that wants to underestimate the impact of economic sanctions, especially when the sanctions are coming from regional blocs and the real "owners" of the world's economy.

Germany had their own piece of the cake in the 1920's when they were indicted of promulgating the WWI, they paid reparations that ran into trillions ( in today's German marks). They got hit by an unprecedented hyperinflation; where their currency was so useless that a german needs currencies filled in a truck to purchase a loaf of bread. Germans couldn't afford to paint their house, they started using money as wallpapers. Their children couldn't afford a toy, they used their money to construct kites. There were cases where people offloaded money from a wheelbarrow, and stole the wheelbarrow alone. Intriguingly, In 1914, the exchange rate of the German mark to the American dollar was about 4.2 to one. Nine years later, it was 4.2 trillion to one. Germany didn't foresee this eventuality.

I end in the words of Umberto eco "Not long ago, if you wanted to seize political power in a country you had merely to control the army and the police. Today it is only in the most backward countries that fascist generals, in carrying out a coup d'état, still use tanks" the whole scene changes when it becomes an economic warfare.

Be calming down Richy , The nonsense your country law enforcement agencies does to you guys in Nigeria is more terrible than anything injustice from people that ought to protect you. In as much as it's highly wrong and bad that it happened in Canada to a fellow black man. Africa countries have never fared better. Africans kills one another as if life doesn't have meaning. Nigeria situation is even worse with the systematic government sponsored killing of the southern people of Nigeria by the Fula I Hausa president call Buhari. Using the security arms of the country to intimidate and often kill other tribes that shows dispersion to the bad leadership and corruption that has been the bane of his leadership ever since he came into power 7 years ago.....Africa needs a Miracle ......

Richy4:
This is the kind of story that makes my blood boil with anger and frustration after reading..

The Northerners are striving for a United Nigeria so as to continue their modus operandi of stealing. They actually don't believe in One Nigeria but the opportunity of having their filty hands on the largese coming from the South which is just damn too awesome. Northern elites whom are mostly the political thieves will rather die than see Nigeria break into two. They are born parasites and would never succumb to any separation unless the South takes the bull by the horn which I know is approaching faster than expected. Bunch of lazy, dirty, maggots ridden people without conscience. Despite stealing all these money from immemorial, they are still backward in everything call Development. Educationally backward region but funnily has been power to steal continuously. They have actually been in power more than any other tribes in Nigeria. It's so annoying....

yanabasee:
The North are the most corrupt people.... Yet they claim they have the country at heart....


You steal everything to yourself and destroys everything you see... yet you claim Nigeria is united because of you...


A typical aboki will destroy infrastructures... You will see them remove those metallic drainage filters and have the roads exposed to erosion .. You dare not speak to them as they will stab you and the aboki police will detain you with your injured body....


Their politicians are stealing everything from the government...

This country can't survive been together for long as one entity. It's only a stupid person that will believe and hope we would survive all these calamity and come out strong. The more you see and hear crazy things happening, another jaw breaking crazy things are lining up to erode the previous crazy things. Nigerians are always breaking the looting and corrupt world of shame and it's so common with the Northern people. They believe they have password to steal and loot the country dry since the south has always seen them as economically and education disadvantaged regions so stealing and ruling is believe to be their rights. Really, sincerely, and definitely.....Nigeria can't stand as a country any longer even though this is a rhetorical statement. Breakup is already happening and if care ain't taken, blood might flow and nothing any army or people can do about it.

Please Baawaa, is Nigeria better presently without physical breakup? The predictions by the west was correct on Nigeria and likewise Russia invading Ukraine. The delaying and evasive tactics of Russia was due to the interference of Major world powers that stood in support of the Ukraine. This is a political game and Russia has weighed the gains and loss of attacking especially the impending diplomatic row and of course the treaty of Versailles is still much active.

. [ quote author=Baawaa post=110281188]Americans with their wrong predictions, that was how they predicted that by 2015 Nigeria will break[/quote]

Do we even realise that these are the sets of super corrupts devilish idiots that contest elections in Nigeria and win. They are in the security outfits presently and some are retired but with venoms and determination to still come back as politicians and finally commenced the burial processes of Nigeria from the Chaos of loots and dismemberment she was in while in service. No security outfits personnel can say or convince me that they love this country. None, not even a single person. Even that one that calls himself the president Buhari is the father of the looters bedevilling this country call Nigeria presently.

Too much crazy things happening in this country under the watchful eyes of Buhari and his cohorts of fraudsters and illiterates politicians determinedly more than ever before to destroy any trace of respect or dignity left in Nigeria. All these Politicians including Buhari ought to be packed into a cell of no return and lock up for life. The attrocities that Buhari and cohorts are committing against the Nigeria nation can't ever be raised or nullify in 50 years to come.

Rather, that headline should have been "Buhari in hurry to destroy Nigeria completely"....that could have sounded more believable to Nigerians.

So this Buhari doesn't know anybody beside
card carrying members in APC. He could have easily gotten a credible and neutral person from any of the Niger Delta high towers and stop wasting tax payers money in sending unworthy and unqualified people from his party to the National Assembly which would definitely be disqualify and another wasteful expenditure of Jamboree will be repeated again.

And so what? CHINA didn't tell you to have kleptomaniac as leaders and neither are they your servant or boy boy employed to build roads and bridges for you. Everything is at a cost and if your kleptomaniac leaders chooses a low cost bridge, that ain't the fault of the Chinese. Chinese People have only one head like you people in Africa.....So,
it's better you go and build your own bridge yourself.......even if it's like Desmond Elliot Bridge in Surulere....

I had a bad premonition that Nigeria will loose when I read this afternoon that Buhari Mr failure and badluck spoke to them on phone. Some people carry badluck with them every where they go and whatever they touches turn bad. Buhari touched Nigeria and ever since Nigeria has been experiencing failure, badluck and everyday death with hunger and unemployment at all levels while prices of food skyrocketed like gold.

Seunosewaismad:
Buhari is cursed, very useless animal.

Penguins, why calling that man an idiot? Call him slowpoke and I would agree with you but idiot, No No......an idiot can be redeemed but an slowpoke is gone forever to the land of the dead, just awaiting physical death.....

Penguin2:
Fools!

NURTW irritants and touts are one of Tinubu’s many ‘legacy’ in Lagos.

And that’s because Tinubu, being a tout himself, can’t do away with touts.

Almost every state government in Nigeria has banned the activities of NURTW in Nigeria since 1999 but not in Tinubu’s Lagos.

There’s no state in the Southeast that you’d find NURTW operating because we don’t tolerate nonsense.

The first thing that Seyi Makinde did in Oyo when he became governor was disband those idiots and I remember Tinubu urchins attacking him then.

Now they are constituting nuisance in Lagos and instead of MC Oluomo’s boys to be disbanded, a whole state government, with all it’s paraphernalia, is “begging” social irritants.

And you know why?

Because Tinubu is their godfather.

Give Tinubu Nigeria and he will resurrect NURTW in every state in Nigeria and make MC Oluomo the grand patron.

Don’t vote this idiot below, let’s leave him to enjoy what he has looted so far and wait for God to call him.

Very shameless Nairalander that you are.....can you read what you just wrote.....anyway, you are a bunch of illiterate that can't even write properly and also a rapist and a paedophilic slowpoke also....aborting your pregnancy would have done your parents a lot of good...Your likes can sleep with their daughters and even your mother ....You are a disgust, a rotten and maggot ridden shit.....I picked at you......why even wasting my time answering an illiterate that can't read or write very well....a rapist apologist, a pedophile supporter....

Danieljuninho:
Did he rape the girl, wetin 12 yrs old girl de find for copper house

Very shameless Nairalander that you are.....can you read what you just wrote..... it's a shame and a big waste of resources of your parent to have sent you to school....You are a rapist and a paedophilic slowpoke also....aborting your pregnancy would have done your parents a lot of good...

Edipet:
I served in bayelsa, those children are out of this world , you need self control to overcome them,.. bayelsa girls just dey distribute pussy anyhow

NYSC Bayelsa Zonal Headquarter is an accomplice to this rape and paedophilic act. They are bunch of rapists apologists and unfit to be called human being talkless of managing Youth Corpers. The NYSC should have voluntarily printed out a large picture of this dog and paste it in every angle of Bayelsa, take it also to National Television to be aired as Wanted person in regards to rape of an underage girl.....I tell you, within 3 hours, this rapist of a dog will be found.

MASTAkiLLAh:
His pictures should be posted everywhere since this is obviously a case of rapé so that members of the public can be aware of him

The truth and nothing but the truth.

adonainana:
Yes you can get a V4 Honda Accord 2006 Nigerian used for that price for 800,000 naira

So far it’s V4, it’s good for Uber as it doesn’t consume fuel like the V6 model

If you find an Honda Civic too, 2004 model upward it will do the job

As funny as it sounds a Honda Civic consumes less fuel than corrola or Camry or any totyota product, I have used both

Now back to the naysayers who will try and discourage you about your budget, it’s what you have that you will use to get what you need

Someone who probably doesn’t have a car yet is already talking about visiting a mechanic everyday now let me explain to you how these things work

A cars engine made up of piston, crank shaft etc works on wear and tear to be specific , imagine iron rods rubbing themselves inside engine oil to fire out combustion almsost everyday and as long as the engine is ignited and running

This is why the longer the millage of a car the weaker the engine is and vice versa

A brand new car not tokunbo car ooo ( a brand new car from the factory does not make any noise engine wise, reason because it’s engine is still completely new )

The reason why I am explaining this to you is to try and make you link how many kilometers a car has run to how weak or less effective or still sound the engine is

Even generator engines work on the same principle, I have been using the same generator for 3 years, but every 4 months or so we buy an HALF ENGINE and the generator is turned on everyday day

Wear and tear over a long time is what weakens engines of cars or anything made of up a mechanics systems

So going back to your budget of 800k for Eod Homda acconrd 2006 , you will get one for that price and surprise surprise all you have to do is to use your mechanic to gauge well how many months or years the engine still has left

Once the engine is still very sound, you are good to use it every day to transport people

Pls don’t listen to people trying to discourage you

Pls go to any motor park and check out the buses that transport people from lagos to Ibadan every day . One 1998 sienna took me from osun state to Abuja one time I couldn’t believe that type of van could be on the road for 14 hours to Abuja without spoiling on the road

Go to nurtw parks and see buses and vans being used for inter State transport and you will be shocked as to thier external state meanwhile it’s thier engine that still makes them going strong

Also a car engine never dies, only the OGs and the legends in the game know what to do when your car engine is giving you problems

So OP go and buy your car and start making money from it today and succeed like those before you

Good day

Exactly, I could remember while I was in Port Harcourt. Every radio plays Yoruba songs, even the ordinary people add Yoruba to their everyday Language. They simply speak the little pidgin Yoruba they could remember at all times and funnily, if they get to know that you are Yoruba, they will exclaimed that haa....N gbati N gbati people and laugh at you......I will just smile .....this is what you see among the South South people, very friendly and loving people and ofcourse very accomodating....share so much in common with the Yorubas interns of being free spirited souls and highly accomodating. I could remember Calabar, Akwa Ibom, PH etc.......also a home from home to any Yoruba person wanting to relocate. You can't see any indigenes of South South fighting against any Yoruba except on just small personal misunderstanding which I never even heard of before.......

Yemmysworld91:
I have had course to live outside my Yorubaland, and even currently reside somewhere in the south south due to work. One thing that baffles me is the fact that these people sing Yoruba songs in church, play them on the street despite the fact that they don't understand the language. I do have a good smile and always proud of my Yoruba heritage when each time I observe them.

You are very wrong there my brother. Yoruba music started dominating the world before Fela.......however, there is always symphony of sincerity, hope and positive rythm of gentleness and calmliness whenever Yoruba music is being aired on TV , Radio and even live show....I could remember a theatrical song of Oluronbi, the performances of Ogunde backed up with Yoruba genealogy rythm, the Olori Igbo, the several Yoruba love songs like Omo Pupa o, Omo Pupa lemi nfe, Omo Pupa o jowo moferan re o.....tin BA de London, mawa fowo oko ranse...........


Yorubas song is also more of a story, a true event being expressed in a sonorous and symphonic lyrics..... In Nigeria presently, any artist that wants to make a hit must either add Yoruba to his song or Collab with a Yoruba artist, without that, your music will be like fly in a pan. Really there is something unique about that Language and even the people......

ayindejimmy:
This is so right.
Right from Fela Yoruba musicians have been paving the way and pioneering new genre of music from Africa to the world.

I just hope haters will read this with an unbiased mind

Use the ladies to track bandits Nigeria police force ain't interested in that my brother. Nigeria police would rather and definitely be assessing those girls and see the one they can give to the DPO and the one they would rape tonight. Nigerian police are rapist also, hope you could recollect all the rape allegations against them inclusive the Abuja Corper that was living in her fiance house but was raped to death by the Nigeria police force in their station in Abuja.....the state capital indeed . Nigeria police will rape those girls also......either they solicit gently or use force as in their name denote FORCE.......

oz4real83:
Why not use the women and the girls to track down the bandits? Why do Nigerian security agencies always rush to the media when situations like this occur instead of using these people as baits to catch the bandits? Are they also interested in "likes" and "shares" like our yeyebrities? If they continue like this, criminals will continue to escape them.

Aaahh, they got information from minister for communication.....ISA Patanmi that virgin girls has finished in Anjanna (Muslim Heaven) and therefore they should help themselves with any willing and capture Olosho they could find right here on earth.

Northern Nigeria men and sex and rape.. they are 5 and 6.......out of 10 Northern Nigeria men, at least 8 must have raped a woman before in his life....

Maxymilliano:
Lol ... Bandit's can no longer wait to enjoy 72 virgins.

Body no be firewood true true

This idiot of a President knows that he's been a failure and a disaster to the existence of Nigeria. That's why he said he's not expecting any appreciation from Nigeria when he leaves....it's like a hardened criminal that has been caught and find an opportunity to escape, he wouldn't even look back to see the situation of things he created.....he would run with his demented and Gworo smelling maggots ridden mouth to Daura or Niger.....most ever stupid president in the history of the world.....

Not again in this new year 2022. Ebube Agu where are you guys?

The governor did what I expected of him. The litigation is strictly between Lagos State government and the landowners and so sad that it's genesis is way back 1984 during the military era and after then, consistent Lagos governments never look at it properly and fashion out a solution until now.

Sanwo Olu is being given kudos by me by the mere fact that he left the comfort of his office and went to the place to settle this issue once and for all.

Forget the disrespectful attitude by the CSP or anybody to the governor, most important thing is the fact that no live was lost and an amicable settlement is being worked out presently. The governor prevented all these unimaginable fights and destruction from happening by his presence.

I learnt a big lesson by the action of Sanwo Olu.....being a leader doesn't limit you to just comfort alone. Being a leader is sacrifice of comfort and convenience, taking insult from even the most stupid of person.

Sanwo Olu left his comfort zone and even threw away all paranaphelia of Mr Executive and came to Magodo to quench the brewing fire that is almost erupted into an infano.

Either you accept or not, that Sanwo Olu is a governor I have come to admire first in this brand new year 2022 and every good leader that has his people's interest in mind should emulate that single gesture of standing up when your people are suffering or about to put in a state of suffering.

Note: Everybody is justified. The landowners and the landlord's that bought lands from the government. No illegality except on the side of the Lagos State government that abandoned the landowners after selling their lands to the landlord's and even issued them certificate of occupancy. This happened under the military regime when anything goes just by clicking of the guns.

Omg! Lol.

I just love the responses from Nairalander this lovely morning. Everybody just said my mind and I really don't need to contribute again.

Buhari was born a failure and lived in failure and operate on failure level....His life is a failure forever....

You ain't a patriot afterall. For your information and understanding, Lekki deep sea port ain't Federal government project, neither Lagos State government. That port is being own and develop by the conglomerate of business minded companies such as Tolaram group of Singapore and China Development Bank and so many of Nigeria banks.

Lagos government will probably have a share in this enterprises by the mere provision of lands and ofcourse the peaceful atmosphere in Lagos for development.

This Seaport Is going to be the biggest and the deepest in West Africa and it's going to be highly automative in operation.

Federal government has no say in this project, strictly a private own enterprise.

Therefore, that's the reward of peace and dynamic leadership in Lagos.

Nigeria is so highly blessed. The only thing lacking is a determined and purposeful leadership that can chest out and say I wouldn't steal or taste the spoil of stealing and dogmatically face up and develop the country with human feeling unlike Buhari that has killed the country and still looking for many ways to quickly bury the country before May, 2023.

patriotic007:
Keeping all Nigerian ports in Lagos is satanic and it's the price we have to pay for one Nigeria

Really, a man gives only what he has. Buhari is full of failure right from childhood. Everything about him has always been failure. Therefore, he has done his best by giving us what he's made of.......which is absolute failure. Shameless old man....

Aaah, Na beginning of the year be dis o.....No tire for Baba Buhari o....Na by fire by force, all of you must to listen to his blunders....He's trying to be relevant cos he's been told that Nigerians have dispersion for him...simple truth....

Dubetex96:
Baba no dey tire ni

He's coming to correct the blunders he made yesterday evening on Channels Tv....he's been practising and memorising every gaddem expo given by Shehu Garba and Femi Adeshina since early this afternoon of today.

Question my brother! How is this even possible!

This is Nigeria, a country where miracles happens everyday.

A country where a dullard and a demented fool is leading a large mass of educated populace as president.

A country where the president borrowed money from international communities and use it to pay just salaries.

A country where some people sleep tonight and wakes up the next day as billionaires without ever having to work to earn that wealth.....Politicians, Military men, EFCC etc....

Lol, would have loved to join in beating the son of devil pretending to be a Pastor..

Can you imagine this gutter boy of a man. You wanna sleep with people's wives and girlfriends cos of small change in thy pocket. You are damn too funny, a ragtag smelling idiot like you. Anyway, I ain't blaming you but Olamide that brought you to limelight after packaging you just like Tinubu package the asshole Buhari for Nigerian.
